Edit: If it is going to make a big difference I have no problem buying a more expensive one if it is going to be worth the money.
The better chain will run smoother and last longer. It's probably a case of what you can afford - there's nothing wrong with a cheap bmx chain but a better chain is probably as cost effective in the long run because it'll last longer. Ask your budget - which can you afford?
