After having dealt with a rather rambunctious ~150lb puppy, a pinch collar and very thorough training really worked wonders and I wholeheartedly agree that they are perfectly acceptable when used correctly. I do prefer pinch collars over choke/slip collars, less danger if the dog pulls hard.
What kind of pinch collar are you using?
Over the years I've owned a number of German Shepherds, the heaviest of them being almost 130lbs. THe dog training club I participate in (which is involved in protection and scent work training for dog as well) gets Herm Sprenger Prong Collars at wholesale prices.
Once I lost a connecting link in one when it was off, but I've never had one break, and I've never felt the need to use a backup chain collar. I typically leave the ordinary quick release snap collar on when the working collar gets put on, but it's not connected to a leash.
