C5R chain or double roller?

I'm up in the air on which route to go i know the doubles work well on bigger HP engines but come with their issues with oil pump and cover clearances and i know many highly recommend the C5R chain and billet gears so for a street driven 450-500 N/A car what one should i do? I think the price is basically a wash by the time you do the grinding to make the double fit!

You can get the C5-R chain with Cloyes adjustable gears. Depending on which set of gears you get it's like 245 or 275...

A single chain such as the C5R will be more than capable of handling a setup like this.
