Any recommendations on what brand chain to buy?
You may or may not have a 1/8" chain. Some people set up FG/SS with 3/32" drivetrains.
I use a KMC master link on all my chains so I can easily remove them for maintenance.
As far as chains go, I typically use a KMC 710SL (just because they're reasonably priced and work well), although I do have a new SRAM PC-1 sitting in the tool chest for eventual use one of these days.
Edit: I use a standard Park 3.x chain tool on my 1/8" chain - works fine.
