I've been using gear oil for the last 12,000kms and I'll never go back to chain lube ever it's far cheaper to use and keeps the chain extremely clean and because of it you don't have to use the chain cleaner as much cant recommend it enough
The 701 had an oil leak and died once luckily only once electrically. It ran hot and would boil the gas in my aftermarket Aux tank which caused low fuel. And it wore out back tires real fast lol.
The husky oil has a tendency to leave a pretty nasty, sticky carbon coating on the piston rather quickly so I would probably avoid that.
