Sheldon Brown says Shimano Nexus / Alfine sprockets will work with either 1/8" or 3/32" chains, so free choice. But the chainring may not because of its chainguards, so 3/32 is the safest bet I think. meaning afaik 7- 8- or 9-speed chain, or a dedicated 1-speed 3/32 chain. Kindly don't sue me if I'm wrong.
