Need a chain recommendation

I've been running a Primary Drive chain which is now toast. 85% of my riding is dunes and sandy trails made up of the same sand that the dunes are. Should I stick with the standard type chains or go with an o-ring or x-ring? I'm concerned that if I go with a ringed
chain that the sand will work its way past the rubber rings, or just destroy the rings.

Always been partial to DID chains. We sell a LOT of DID ERT2 chains at work (distribution), so they are probably a great product

I'm running the DID X-ring seems to work well, I'm pretty much sand only.

The best I have used is a Regina o-ring
but twice maybe three times the cost of your primary
drive from rocky mountain. I have an older primary
drive chain on my CR500 and am very happy with
the wear and lack of stretching. I have not tried
the newer (last 2 years) ones.
