+1 on the KMC, got same on my race cruiser and the Falcon Pro OS cruiser.
You know how many chains I've snapped and these have been great so far. Being extra fussy about chainline and tension helps when you've got all the power and no smooth delivery like me :-X

Z510HX is the strong one, Odyssey use the same one + half link for the Bluebird chain. I've snapped the side plates on a standard Z510.

I'm on an SRAM now, I'll have to see how that works out.
