I would image that having userdefined chains allows
for better ogranization of your rules. Escpecially if
you have a compicated ruleset. (multiple subnets and DMZ etc. etc.)
I don't use any custom chains as my ruleset is pretty simple.
The LOG chain is a good idea and makes it easy to edit if you want
to change anything.
I would suggest that you run your ruleset the way that works best for you.
