    The "best" is a bit of a subjective term dependent on a number of factors including intended usage but I use and rate the KMC X9L. Less than £20, great quality and comes with a masterlink. If you are using your bike just for commuting or on a tighter budget then the KMC X9 is a good option (only £10 at Ribble).

    I generally opt for the KMC X-series with the gold ti-nitride plating - noticeably smoother and the plating means they don't corrode as quickly.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
