Any should work, the inner width of 8/9/10 speed chains is all the same.

As above.

Nothing special about a 10spd chain other than the plates are avbit thinner but the gap is the same.

When you replace just get the cheapest 8spd chain you can find!

SRAM 850 chain currently £5.99 at CRC and Halfords.

Just replaced the chain on my SS with one of these, running a Surly cog and a random NW ring as I needed 32t, and that's what was in the spares box. All works fine, no need for a 10 spd chain.

They'll all work with a 10 speed chain. Just make sure whatever rear sprocket you use is 3/32" .
