Best Way to Remove & Replace a Chain

I've got a couple of bikes with Shimano 105 10-speed drivetrains, and I'd like to start removing the chains periodically for cleaning. I bought some SRAM powerlinks thinking that they would work, but apparently not, since one of the pins won't fit. I'm comfortable breaking and reconnecting a chain with a chain tool, but I'm not sure if that's OK to do with these chains.

So, what's my best option--is there a removable link that will fit these chains, or is it OK to break and reconnect a 10-speed chain?
