Cloyes vs Melling Timing chain kits?

I did a quick search on here to see experiences with chain kits on Cloyes vs Melling. It seems Melling has little to no mentioned experiences, and a lot of the threads that pop with Cloyes are regarding code or longevity issues post installation.

Is everyone buying a Cloyes kit because it is the best priced, name brand kit and/or "lifetime" warranty, and that's why there's more threads/issues because more are on the street?

I agree for the most part.

I went ahead and ordered the Melling kit with the water pump/sprocket/gasket and the rest of the fixins, and added a Melling oil pump/timing cover. Decided to go Melling from previous experience with oil pumps and online chatter being more favorable. Time will tell if it was worth the extra cost over Cloyes I guess.
