The Queen is still the most "powerful" piece, so unless there is a positional consideration that favors a Chancellor or Archbishop, one should still promote to a Queen. Of course, if you can promote without your opponent being able to promote, any one of the three would grant you a winning advantage.

P.S. Pawn "promotion" is the standard term. Even in 8x8 chess, there are situations where promoting to a piece other than a Queen is the only way to win.
