I'm building up my new frame and have taken the opportunity to go 2x10.
I've ordered new ta Chinook chainrings, xt cassette, xtr shifters and xt direct mount front mech. I was going to get the xtr chain for £33 but I also have heard good things about kmc.
Anyone with experience of both?

Haven't tried a 10 speed kmc, but the xtr chain runs noticeably smoother than 10 Speed sram chain I previously had on. If you haven't read the blurb, the xtr chain is asymmetric to aid shifting. Saying that if you're not running shimano rings it will make less of a difference.
KMC X10SL. Various Taiwanese sellers on eBay doing them cheap, seem legit.
KMC 10-93 is a good chain it what I use.
They all work.
I was going to get X10SL but decided to go XT in the end as I'm running Shimano rings plus I could get 2 XT chains from woolyhatshop for only £24 each.
My X10SL was £21 posted...
Cheers all.
Decided to go kmc x10sl from a UK bike store. £26 posted as I'm doing thr build this week.
