Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

Buy a chain labeled 6/7/8-speed or just 8-speed. It will be narrower than your current chain but wide enough to work well with your crank and chainrings. The even narrower 9 and 10-speed chains could slip into the gap between the two chainrings. Cranks intended for use with 9 and 10-speed chains have the chainrings closer together to prevent this.
