Everywhere else I use belts and put them in tub.

The chains vs. belt discussion is a common topic that the OP probably could have searched for and gotten the same results more quickly, but the last page and a half of this thread actually turned into a helpful (for me at least) discussion about tools for chain. Your info about the #25 chain is still helpful though; it's always good to know of teams that used a less common method with success.
Never underestimate a CD thread's ability to get derailed.
EDIT- Oh, and there's a brief excursion of people discussing polycord as an alternative to belts and chain. The more derailment, the better!
