Got an XT chainset and XTR cassette/rear mech. My old sram chain is a little tired now so was wondering if there is any real difference between chains?

Quite like the idea of a KMC gold one!!?

The Yumeya chain is fantastic!

I'd go for an XTR one myself. Ive fitted hundreds of Shimano chains over the years and, despite what some people will say, I've never had a properly installed one break.
SRAM, on the other hand, break very easily, despite the link profiling making them a little more resistant to chainsuck.( I'd still avoid)
KMCs reliability falls between the two, definately worth trying, though I find shifting is a tiny bit slower.
