Default Anchor Chain Opinions

I'm embarrassed to admit new boat does not have any anchor chain and just realized it.
So 25ft walkaround with 2ft of swim deck and single 250 Merc. I rarely will have more than 4 on boat with rare max of 8 people. Mostly fishing through October and occasional family river expeditions. Possible overnights in the river.

How many feet of chain recommended off bow?
How many feet of chain off stern?
What size chain off bow?
what size chain off stern?
Stainless, galvanized, or ?
Recommendation on chain to rope connection?

Also recommendations on stern anchor style and weight?

thanks
