Dear colleagues,
I have to include an H-bridge in one of my PCB designs; this H-bridge presents a PDIP-16 package like the following one:

My question is if you recommend me to use a socket like this:
http://techdelivers.com/40-pin-IC-base-socket-wide
or it is better to solder the chip directly on the PCB. One issue is that four of the 16 pins have to act as a heatsink, dissipating heat through a ground-plane with vias.
The IC I refer to is here:

Thanks in advance.
