I agree with Matt's recommendation to use #35. Some people think its overkill but I've seen the lighter chains break under impact often enough to not want to use them.

One additional (and I think very important) advantage to #35 chain is that it is less misalignment-sensitive than the smaller chains (1/4" pitch or 8mm pitch). This alone is a great reason (imo) to use #35.
