I have some of both types, so I can weigh in.
Its made by Carlton (or at least used to be), so made in the states. Can be bought by the 10 pack somewhat cheaply (if you have a 20" Stihl running 3/8", .050, 10 chains is about $150 shipped). Seems to stretch out at first, but is fine after a few minutes on the bar.
The only stihl chain I have came with used saws, or as part of a lot I bought off of eBay. Still cuts well, but needed a different file size for me to sharpen it.
Honestly, I wouldnt pay twice as much for the Stihl chains. They arent that much better to me. Im just a guy that cuts wood for his house, someone who does it for a living might think differently.
