With regards to breaking, I've had similar experience. The only chain that has broken in my family's fleet over 40 years of bicycling is an early SRAM (Sedis maybe?) that used the old style master link. The link is the part that broke..
What about twisting?
I've replaced more chains due to twisted links following an incident of some kind than due to breaks.
