We used 1/8 chain. Bike chain for 3/32 width sprockets has some slop built into it to handle angular misalignment with derailleurs. I figured the 1/8 chain is better suited to our application since it is designed for single speed straight chain runs.

The Miche sprockets are quite nice. The heat treated steel is probably bullet proof for FRC purposes. And the bore is so large that they are very light.
