PSRU design advantages

IF you had to design a PSRU, to drive a pusher propellor via shaft, what
would your experience dictate? Thinking along the lines of a gearbelt, chain
or gear. Please, I would appreciate the collective experience available on
this group. I have decided on the aircraft, but want to make it the most
reliable and safest it can be.

This is probably going to open old wounds. What I would like is
experienced input on the advantages, for economic, efficiency and
longevity etc. of different types of redrives.
I am leaning towards a cog-belt reducer in a 6 cylinder, liquid cooled,
configuration driving a long drive shaft to the prop.
The collective experience is zilch = nada = squat = undefined.
THAT is what everybody had been trying to tell you.
Wait a second. Look around the airport.
How many shaft driven propellers do you see?
Have you ever seen?
If you are heart set on doing it, I sincerely wish you luck.
But I can't offer any further advice - 'cuz they ain't none...
