Replace timing chains ?

OK, I know Waynes book says a new master link chain is better than an old chain but just want to double check everybodys feelings on this.
This is a 78 3.0 liter with 74K miles, Tope end being redone due to Dilavar issues. Everything looks fine , heads are getting Supertec care and cams/rockers redone by John Dougherty. I have already replaced the chain ramps and am upgrading to the later idler arms. No wear on the sprockets but have a replacement set anyway. On teardown the tensioners did not appear to be extended very far, for whatever that is worth.

Just wanting to make sure before I pop out the original chain and put in the master link style (which are sitting on the bench)
