Anchor rode-chain length

Guys-

I am planning to buy some new 3/8 in. BBB chain for my combination nylon and chain rode. I presently have 20 feet of chain with 250 ft of nylon 3 strand rode. Any thoughts on increasing the amount of chain?? Boat is 42 ft sloop. Generally anchor in 15-25 ft depths here in N England. I have a vertical electric windlass. Thanks!

Rodd
