Smile Chain driven vs Direct drive mechanum

Hey, our team completed our rookie season but are looking to fix up our robot this summer for off season competition this fall. We are interesting in adding mechanum wheels and we want to try them out when we have plenty of time. However, we're not really sure what the pros and cons of chain driven and direct drive systems are. So, if you could enlighten us a little bit, that would be awesome. Also, a list of parts would we need for each would also be super helpful. Thanks!!
