I bought a Wipperman 10S0 about 3 weeks ago. I have not seen an SRAM 10sp chain or link. At first I loved it.

Now the fun part. I get a small high pitched squeak with it. I have determined that it is from the longer pin in the Connex link when it transitions from the derailer pulley on to the cog. It is the outside surface of the pin rubbing against the inside of the cog face/adjacent tooth as the link takes to the cassette.

Imagine a string with a knot tied on it and pulling it through a hole barely big enough for the string. When the knot hits it there's interference as it slips through. In this case the sliding surfaces produce a nice squeak. White Lightning stops it, but it wears out within a half-hour. I find it in all gears. Hanger is straight, etc.

I am going to play with more adjustments later, but if I had to do it over....I hate to say it, but I'd get the stock Ultegra chain.
