They all have good and bad points.Chain is super strong and can be made any length. Really the only downside is the weight and space it takes up. Cable is lighter and long lengths can be packed and used as winch ext. Cable is more suseptable to fatigue both seen and unseen. Cable frays have layed many a hand wide open.(always wear gloves) Snatch straps are light strong and have the ability to stretch and recoil to aid in extraction.Problem is you dont know when they have reached the strech limit until they snap. I like the idea of using two that may work well.(I always pack two next time I will try it.) As said above the best wayis to use a winch.
