The obvious solution to both is to build a frame that doesn't bend, but after that why not just stick to chain or my personal favorite timing belt? We ran our timing belt frame pretty hard this season and never had issues with throwing belts, and in the past we never threw chains (even on the kit frame) after using tensioners/careful alignment.
I agree. 971 runs timing belt which IMO requires the most precision out of the three. Chain requires the least. I think even strengthening up the frame and switching to 35 chain(which can take a lot of slop) will be a better solution that may even weigh less.
