It's easy. If you want OE spec chain but without paying OE prices go for DID ZVM. After market DID ZVM comes with the usual soft rivet link, which is absolutely fine as long as you take your time fitting. I think the key is taking your time pushing the plates together as you assemble the link, check with a steel rule against the links and you'll know when it's just right, then spread the rivet.
After market like Talon and Renthal are good. The advantage of the OE front sprocket is it's much quieter than the after market stuff.
ZVM chain is not cheap though.

Plenty of other good chain out there, but figuring out what is equivalent to ZVM can be confusing.
