Been running a clip style link on my chain since last year with no issue but it was a bugger to get the clip on. In the 30+ years I have been riding I have never had a clip style master fail. I have had a chain break on the road but it wasn't at the master link. Took my chain breaker out of my tool bag and spare master link and was rolling again for the rest of the day in a few minutes.
