Timing Chain Tensioner

(smooth back) silent type link chain
It is said that with a tensioner that is the chain to use.Now I know both types have been used.This is what I have read many times. I did use a tensioner and silent chain in my last 318 build.I too figured that Ma Mopar put them in for a reason. The debate will continue. Like what is best ? Holley or Carter ? As said above,personal preference.
