A good barrel is a good barrel.
I'll take a good shooting nitride barrel over a pile of shit barrel with a chromed bore and chamber any day.
That being said, some places do chrome better than others. Noveske makes some spectacular chrome lined barrels as well as Daniel Defense, and you WILL pay a premium for them.
Nitride is a cheaper process. that being said, it's not equally proportional to a decrease in performance under chrome lined. A well finished barrel that is nitrided will generally have an edge in accuracy in the beginning vs that same barrel in chrome just from the fact a nitride is a surface treatment, not a coating. Over time and use, a well done chrome coating will eventually equal, and surpass a nitride barrel in it's ability to hold accuracy, especially at the throat against erosion.
So, if you see yourself taking a carbine course every other week, spend the money on the chrome barrel and you will likely make up the difference in price before your barrel is flat ass worn out.
