belt drive VS chain drive

Hi
we are building a robot for a special project. the importance here is durability, we are hoping to build this for it to have minimal maintenance (we will be handing it over to people who don't know their way around robots). It will be a full fledged FRC robot. Our main questions, emphasizing durability:

1. chain or belt drive?
2. Colson high performance wheels or just the regular wheels
3. is there a specific type of drive train we should go for?
