That's what I've always used. The last one hasn't lasted as long for some reason.
As far as smashing the crankcase - at thsi point the bike is disposable - I'd be more concerned with the hospital bills.
IIRC the DID is stronger than the OEM. This chain is approx 60% tensile strength of the DID so I just have to keep the throttle below 60% full open. The red ones can probaly be opened  close to 100% though.
Has anyone actually had a chain snap versus a link coming apart?
