8 plait and splice to chain

Hi all,
there was a discussion recently about rope to chain splices and 8 plait rode.
I have 3/8s BBB chain, and 3 strand spliced to it. thinking of changing to
8 plait and was curious to those who use this, what size rode would you
recommend? 1/2? 5/8ths?
also, since the BBB chain is a short link, any problem with size? my 5/8ths
3 strand wont fit thru the links.
thanks, Rickf
