Default Should I get a 3 jaw chuck or a 4 jaw chuck for my dividing head?

Wes fired this volley in news:BEIOl.390676
:

I'm leaning towards the 4 jaw independent. Thoughts.

It's the only rational choice. What if you have to chuck up odd-leg
parts?

It takes a few "lessons" to learn to quickly true up the work in a 4-
jaw independent chuck, but you can work to much better tolerances with
it than with a self-centering type.
