I can't think of any instance where nose-hoover chains provides an advantage over nose-hoover in a large system -- all the demonstrations of superiority are in model systems that are not particularly chaotic. As the system gets more chaotic, it matters less.
I would go with md, nose-hoover (w/o chains), and Parrinello-Rahman with semiisotropic scaling.
