I am going to mostly chain. What do you use for shock absorption

I see lots of ways to attach line to the chain for shock absorption, including rolling hitches, Mantus chain hook, ABI chain gripper, plain galvanized or SS hook, etc. I don't think I want to be fussing with a rolling hook while setting the anchor. What do people use, and how much line do you pay out to relieve the shock?
