Any thoughts on nickel chains vs stainless?

Also, the LBS told me that I could run a nine speed chain on an eight speed drivetrain with no problems at all. It would seem to me that the narrower (nine speed) chain would be more likely to fall between chainwheel rings and more likely to suffer chain suck. Any comments on using the narrower chain on the eight speed drivetrain?
