Sachs/Sedisport/(Now) SRAM Vs. Shimano chains has been argued longer than "tastes great vs. less filling"
Shimano chains generally shift better/smoother;
SRAM chains are generally more rugged (especially good for MTB).
I have switched to SRAM because of reliability issues in the woods. I am happy now with both reliability and shiftability issues. If it shifts OK to you and is reliable, what more could you ask for?
I also use the pins to connect a new chain and have tossed the quick connect in the camelbak repair kit; although it has been along time since I've had to repair a chain on the trail, (that's probably why I like SRAM chains.)
