I've been happy with the Oregon 72JGX072G (specific to my bar, your part number will vary) chain thus far. Its a skip tooth round chisel design and tears through the pine I cut. I mean really, it shreds right through since I keep it sharp all the time.

If you know what you are doing its a good choice but I wouldn't recommend it to a novice. The amount of kickback is noticeable compared to a safety chain. The skip tooth design isn't really necessary for my needs (only a 20" bar) but it comes in handy when noodling and it takes half as long to sharpen.
