1/8" chain is ok, but it's better to use 3/32" dérailleur chain if your rings and freewheel will accept it. If the rings and freewheel/ cog are 3/32, the 1/8 chain will fit somewhat sloppily, which will cause more wear (I think). Since the standard QB drivetrain uses two chainrings, it makes sense to use 3/32 chain because it's more forgiving of imperfect chainline. But if you already have 1/8" parts, use them, but if you're starting from scratch, 3/32 is better.
