Default Cam chain choices

Ok guys i've decided enough is enough and it's time to replace the cam chain.

What options do i have?
Who's using what and with what results. I've seen the ProX one's are made by borgwarner so i'mm guessing they're alright?

Thought's/ opinions?

I won't need to do that for a while yet.
What's wrong with yours?
If I did need to change the cam chain, I probably just use the oem part.

I've got the dreaded cam chain rattle you get and rather than putting undue pressure on the chain by forcing the tensioner out i'd rather just try another chain and road test that for a while. I read so many people have the rattle and replace it with an OEM part but i've never heard of any aftermarket ones and how they perform in relation to stretch etc.

i know the years are different but i'm assuming it may be the same?

I also am trying to find the links for DID chains and another company called tsubaki chains.
