Default 10 speed chains

I'm used to SRAM chains because I've always had good experiences with
durability and performance, and I really like the powerlink. I've
upgraded my drivetrain to 10 speed and am running Ultegra cassette
with FSA compact crank. Since SRAM doesn't appear to make a 10 speed
chain yet, I bought a Mavic mainly because it has a quick link. I'm
not so sure I like the performance of the Mavic, however (assuming the
touchy shifting issues I'm experiencing are chain and not mechanic
[me] related).

Any recommendations? Wipperman? Does Shimano Dura Ace work well with
a missing link?

TIA

SRAM 89R is 10-speed compatible, some people here say.

DA with a Wipperman 10s snap link or a mavic/Wipperman 10s chain. Both
good choices.

AND Sram, in spite of saying that a 10s chain cannot have a safe snap
link, will have a 10s chain in 2007, with a snap link, for their 10s
group.

Why not a Dura Ace with a Forster Super Link?
