Default JWIS or Rollmaster chain for LS1?

Which is the better quality product? I think the C5R racers use the JWIS but many on this site have the Rollmaster. Thoughts?

I have the Rollmaster, and I love it! Fit was great, and quality was way better than the stock piece.

Go with the rollmaster, the JWIS is just a chain. You shouldn't put a new chain on with old gear's.

I have the Rollermaster double and I love it. It eliminated all of the stock slack and seems to be a strong product. Also works with ASP pulleys.

I bought a Rollmaster double timing set from TSP two-weeks ago and it came with the JWIS double roller chain. Jason said that's the reason for the recent price increase.
