If you do sliding blocks, (I wouldn't be too worried about the drivetrain drifting to one side as long as everything is properly tensioned), I'd use the small cams from WCP so you're not entirely relying on the friction between the block and tube to hold the block in place.

Agreed. #35 is very toleranct on spacing, so even if it wears a little you will almost never throw a chain. I don't think I've seen a #35 chain fail before, although I'm sure others have seen it.
