It’s an interesting question. Intuitively the aluminum ring being much softer than the chain, chain wins. But with how the steel rings maintain their profile, that has to be better for a chain?
I’ve had many more chains of these rings than I would have on aluminum ones without replacing the rings themselves so don’t know how you’d test that? At least not without some kind of lab environment.
