Why did colonial masters first adopt the institution of indentured servitude rather than Indian or black slavery?

Early on, there was a steady stream of white, indentured servants coming from England to the New World. Many were promised land after completing their services and were therefore eager to work. The main reason colonial masters opted for this option was because these indentured servants were much cheaper than African and Indian slaves. After Bacon's rebellion however, and after an economic upturn in England which kept laborers home, indentured servants became a less desirable option. At this point, the slave trade had opened up and indentured servants were seen as too difficult to control.

Why did former indentured servants threaten the colonial elite in the Chesapeake and why?

For this answer, you should look at Bacon's Rebellion- Where Nathanial Bacon revolted against the governor of Virginia, attempting to burn down all of Jamestown. The reason the former indentured servants threatened the elit is because Bacon's mob was comprised of jaded indentured servants (who were getting the short end of the stick when it came to land) and African slaves. After the uprising, none of the wealthy settlers wanted to hire indentured servants, so they turned to African slavery as their main means of labor.

Why did plantation owners MOST prefer to use slaves over indentured servants?

There were two reasons why they turned to slavery. The first one is indentured servitude was a contract for 7 years and often people didn't finish out their contract once they arrived. This meant that they could fade into the population of colonists and no one would know they were indentured servants. While slaves were African American and anyone who was black was a slave no matter where they were. This is the second reason why slaves became popular because no matter where they were they could be picked out as a slave. To leave a plantation they had to have a pass, and slaves were property while indentured servants were workers.

Why did African slavery replace indentured servants?

Indentured service worked for a benefit and for a set amount of time (often years.) However, slaves were worked for no benefit, and for free. Basically, slaves were profitable and didn't settle to pay off debts.
