Mecanum Wheels

Hello,
In the off season, or before the Las Vegas regional, we would like to explore the idea of mecanum wheels. What is the best way to drive these wheels? We were thinking of using the BaneBots 56mm Planetary Gearbox with the CIM motor. The BaneBots shaft would go directly into an Andy Mark 1/2" universal hub which would be attached to a wheel. Would this be a good idea or should we go with a chain driven design, we have had bad experience with chains.
