Snapped Chain!

Last night we snapped or first drive chain (not the timing chain).

The chain was a Dura-Ace 9-spd chain, it snapped when we hit the first hill in our night ride last night. (Had to go home and do the ride on the solos... luckily we were close to home).

Anyway it sucked because I didn't have any of the joining pins. So even with a chain tool, there was nothing that I could do (this time).

I was wondering what everyone's preference is for 9-spd chains. KMC or SRAM with master links maybe?

Lightweight, strength and smooth shifting are all important to me.

My cassette is a 9-spd SRAM 11-32 my chainrings are made by FSA.
