I run a KMC Kool chain on 24/9, it's not light but it won't break (which is great!)

Been using the same Shadow Conspiracy half-link chain on my race bike since the Brits 2006, so coming up to 2 years now.  People keep telling me it's not the lightest chain (can't say I noticed it was heavy when fitting it though).

i think unless your running ver small gearing the kmc wont break, 25-9 puts alot of stress on a chain, but 33-12 gearing will be fine  :daumenhoch:
