Which one do I use
Im trying to load a lot of chunks in a world so I can see them all. Should I use chunky or dh?

Chunky doesn't load chunks, it just pregenerates them. Only DH actually loads the chunks.
/chunky
Using Chunky's pregeneration and Distant Horizons at the same time is known to cause LODs to turn into swiss cheese as can be seen in the attached screenshot.
Distant Horizons has a built-in LOD pregenerator called Distant Generation. However, Distant Generation only saves the LODs, not the vanilla chunks. This is in order to save file space, as pregeneration often leads to huge file sizes.
If you actually want to pregenerate vanilla chunks along with LOD data, remove Distant Horizons, use chunky to pregenerate, and add Distant Horizons back. Once the pregeneration is done and Distant Generation is enabled, Distant Horizons will convert all the pregenerated, saved chunks, inside your DH Render Distance to LODs.
If you only want the LOD data and don't need the vanilla chunks, use Distant Generation instead of Chunky's pregeneration.
Note, these issues may not only occur with Chunky, but also with other similar pregeneration mods.
