Belts also give you a warning (fraying and noise) chains don't, they just snap.

A belt will hurt as much as a chain regardless. It's the interference vs non-interference engine that matters for what's broken.

If you're waiting until you see fraying and noise to replace a timing belt, you're in trouble. Most belts that need changing will never indicate it until you've pulled it off the car and have cut it open.
