I agree with the advice on the SRAM Connex chains. I use their 8- speeds on everything I ride or build for others. (the exception being my cross bike which came stack with a 10-speed cassette and on which I run Wipperman chains) Thousands and thousands of miles on the Sram chains and no breaks yet. Pretty inexpensive and plus they are easy to remove when you need to.
