I've got 2 Squire chains joined end to end (I found a single one a bit short), forget the exact model name but its available from Halfords priced about £140 - although how it stands up to attack I'm not totally sure.
Almax chains seemed to be widely hailed as the best (google them). That said, any chain is only as good as its weakest link.
Where possible, try and keep chains above floor level - that way a thief can't get so much leverage on bolt croppers to cut through it (although nothing will stop an angle grinder if they *really* want your bike). Obviously, try and put the chain through a solid part of the bike (frame if possible). A chain through a wheel is defeated by removing the wheel....
Any lock / chain will deter an opportunist, but a professional thief will have it whatever you do.
