Start/stop is really not much of an issue, however other factors are:
1. Design of chain, not all chain styles are equal and some are simply better than others.
2. Type of oil used and change intervals. You can use the best design chain and still get failures if the oil is low in ZDDP, dirty, and not changed when needed.
3. Relative chain lengths; the longer the chain, the more "whip" it sees which factors into stretch over time.
All that said, chain stretch in the M96/97 is relatively low, even on high mileage examples.
