HG93 shimano is the xt spec I think, £8 from CRS two weeks ago, worth a look.

Had one KMC and it was fine. Been using SRAM 975 for my fuel ex with 9 speed XO /XT mix and they have been spot on so may just be a friday job.

X9-93 KMC- cheap, solid. Not very rustproof, doesn't matter if you look after it. Also, comes with a powerlink (KMC make many Shimano 9-speed chains, albeit to a lower standard. I can't remember if it was everything lower than XTR, or XT, though.

Nowt much wrong with sram either in my experience, except they seem a wee bit expensive.

All much of a muchness in my experience. I've had kmcs and srams last anywhere from 900 to 1800 commuting miles. On the last of my £5 selcofs which is a shame, as good as anything else and chromed. I'll just whatever is cheapest when it needs replacing.
