You are likely going to have put on a new chain and sprockets 2-3 times as often as you have to replace a belt. And....you have to put up with the chain maintenance and mess.
A belt can last a very long time.....I am pretty sure that MMRanch is still on his original belt at 60,000 miles. I believe Youzguys has only done 1 replacement in 200,000 miles.
A new belt is a bit expensive - but no more expensive that buying several sets of chain/sprockets. If you have time to watch eBay and wait for a good price on a low mileage belt.....you can get them pretty cheaply.
