10 Speed reuseable links - SRAM / Shimano

I read somewhere that the "SRAM Powerlock" is a 1 time thing? What quick links can I get that can be used over and over. I have 9 speed right now with the SRAM reuseable links but I'm slowly building a 10 speed group.

Also if anyone knowledgeable is reading this, can I run a 10 speed chain efficiently on a 9 speed crank?

I have used the Park MLP-1 master link pliers many times to remove the SRAM "Powerlock" 10s link, and then re-use it.

Whipperman Connex link?

I used one on my MTB and cleaned the chain by removing it about 5-6 times a year. I never had an issue, and I can be quite the grinder at times.
