Lightbulb Advice Request: Best Timing Chain SBC 350 ?

Hello experts in the community, recently I have been experiencing issues with my SBC (GM crate 350 4-bolt w/10,000 miles). I have erratic timing at idle, lower than normal vacuum (18") and low cylinder compression (110psi) evenly on all cylinders. I did a performed a chain stretch test and saw 12 degrees of slack, way too much! I have babied this motor since I bought it new, heck it has never seen temps over 180 Deg. and has had meticulous oil changes. It looks like I'm in the market for a new timing chain...

So the question arises, what is a good quality, long lasting timing chain. I do not want to take the chance of one breaking or having it stretch so early on into its life ever again. I have the CompCams 3 piece timing cover (PN 310), so space will not be an issue; also my budget for the chain is 200.00. I'm just looking for a quality piece that will last me as long as possible. Part numbers are welcomed, thank you in advance for your expert input.

Bryan B.
