Data point.... I like the Wippermann chains. I would avoid the very expensive stainless models as they have been known to develop cracked links, but the nickel plated ones (and the plain black ones) are excellent. Some people do complain that they are a bit noisy, but that stems from the fact that they are a bit stiff laterally by modern chain standards...you need to have your rear derailleur accurately adjusted or you may have a bit more noise than with a more flexible chain. on the upside, it makes the shifting quick and I think it might also shift a bit better under load. They are long lasting, too as they seem to be made of a very high quality hard steel. This may be a part of what OP mentioned in that the lateral stiffness combined with a relatively long life may lead people to ignore them a bit too long as they wear which could lead to cog wear....Keep an eye on the wear with a chain tool (or ruler) and they are excellent chains....the best for Campy 10 speed IMHO.
