As the title?
Anything known about the Sram X1 or XX1 chains that really makes them better?
XTR chain looks a good shout, directional though, any issues?
PC1130?
KMC 11 speed chains?
Length is the main reason for sram. A lot of em are 112 or 114 links which on a sus can be too short.
You've missed out a VERY obvious bit of information...
Road or MTB drivetrain?
If MTB, then go with the X1. Or the XX1 if you're feeling flush (but really it's more than twice the price for a few grams!). You can use other 11spd chains on a SRAM 1x11 setup, but the SRAM 11spd MTB chains are the only ones optimised to work on this setup.
If Road then to be honest, any will do the job fine, but in my experience KMC last the longest, but the SRAM chains are usefully cheaper right now. Shimano chains are cheap but wear out startlingly quickly in my experience.
