Any opinions on which is better, a chain or belt driven garage door opener?
I understand the belt driven are quieter, but are they better?
Thanks!

Although I have never had a belt drive I imagine the tension would be
greater on a belt drive, therefore stick with the chain. The bearings
that support the tension will last longer.
