Ok so I know I'm probably going to start WW3 with this but what are peoples thoughts on rivet links and clip links?

I've always used rivet links but my chains never seem to last me long so was thinking about maybe converting to clip links for easier removal for deep cleaning.

I've noticed there tends to be some horror stories about clip links but they seem to be down to user error. I've only ever had 1 chain fail and that had a rivet master link fitted but the failure was elsewhere on the chain so again not the master links fault.
