Default best timing chain

I've done searches and haven't found any good evidence. I'm about to install a TSP 233/239 cam and bought the rollmaster double roller. Its a "JWS" chain, from what I can read through the bag. I thought I did read something about the rollmasters coming with 2 different brands of chains. One being better than the other. Should I be looking into a differnt chain or will this one be fine? I'm probably being to cautious and someone will hopefully tell me that

1) IMO, either chain should be fine.
2) You have the one you want regardless.

The dark colored gear is the heat treated one and comes with a bearing and a better chain. This is the one I use on all my engines.

Or you can use a new LS2 chain and be done.

True, but the man already has a better chain, whether or not it's "overkill".

thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll keep the Rollmaster and get the install underway.
