1/8 Izumi Super Toughness. Lasts a long time and looks really good.
I have also run the D.I.D. Track Racing Pro and also a Miche chain and I think I have a X1 chain or whatever the top end KMC single speed chain is all are pretty good but I think the Izumi or D.I.D. would be my favorite with the Izumi at the top.

I use 1/8" chain. It has the benefit of being compatible with chainrings and sprockets for either 3/32" or 1/8" chain.
