If you're using it for a leisure plinking/range rifle, you'll probably never see the difference in service life. If it's a rifle you'd be using operationally, or firing on full auto, and displacing high quantities of ammunition, then you would. Daniels Defense is a great company which makes high quality products. I'm really surprised to see that they would have a barrel for only $250, especially as their products tend to be priced more towards the high end.
I suppose it would really come down to what you're building your rifle for. If it's going to be a service rifle which sees a lot of use, you'd want the chrome lining. If not, there'll be no benefit to it, and it'll actually impede your accuracy (which is why rifles manufactured for high precision don't use chrome lining in the bore).
Noveske is a quality manufacturer, but their products also get marked up a lot because of the name. For a chrome/moly barrel, you could do just as good for considerably less.

Will a chrome lined barrel last longer than a 450 dollar non chrome lined noveske or other high end manufactured barrel?
Depends on the manufacturer. A lot of manufacturers claim their chrome-lined barrels to be 'mil spec'. However, this is a myth - they don't know what the actual specs are, and the only basis they have for claiming their product to be mil spec is the presence of chrome lining. Chrome lining actually impedes the accuracy of the firearm, and, if you're not careful in which manufacturer you choose, you could very easily end up with cheap chrome lining that will flake off, leaving you both with a barrel unlined in spots and further impeded accuracy.
Will a non chrome lined noveske barrel not last as long as a chrome lined barrel?
We keep going over this, and the answer doesn't change...Whether the chrome lining does anything to extend the service life of the barrel depends on a number of things, such as:Quality of the chrome lining. Cheap chrome lining will flake off over time, effectively negating any usefulness it would have had. I've had experience with Daniels Defense products, but not so much with their barrels... those who have most likely have posted something online about them.Usage. How heavily your rifle will be used makes a difference. If yours is a semi-auto rifle which will only see occasional use, any advantage you gain from chrome lining will likely never be seen. If your rifle will see heavy usage - especially at rapid fire or full auto fire - then a chrome lined bore from a quality manufacturer will give a noticeable extension to the life of the barrel.The barrel itself. Even with chrome lining, the tolerances of the barrel to the heat generated are going to have an impact on the life of the barrel. If you get a really lightweight barrel, and put it through heavy use, it's going to see a significantly shorter lifespan.There's also factors such as the ammo you use and how well you maintain your firearm.You're the only one who can really answer the question of how much use your rifle will see. You're also the only one who can answer the question of whether you're building a rifle for the sake of precision, or just to be 'tacti-cool'.

How much does having a chrome barrel affect the price of a p38 pistol?
It would reduce it. The only way a P38 would have a chrome lined barrel would be as a result of aftermarket work, or by swapping in a postwar P1 barrel, which would reduce its value for having mismatched parts.
