I use DID 'X' ring. It has rubber seals to keep crap out of the joints, only needs a light oiling to keep nice, doesn't stretch, and doesn't therefore hook the sprockets or need adjustment. It's designed for much more powerful bikes so the W hardly bothers it at all. Spend money on the over-engineered expensive good stuff and it seems you only spend once!

Thanks Martin & Dennis. That's much easier. I've clearly never tried
a master link chain - anything different about them in use? (e.g.
lifetime, lube/clean, etc).
What should I look for on the sprockets? The teeth seem symmetric
(leading & trailing edges look the same).
Any recommendations for a particular chain or supplier?

Get a chain splitter, push the rivet out, attach the new chain to
the old one and pull through before joining the new one up. Buy a
chain with a master link. Works perfectly. Don't forget to check the
sprockets out and replace if necessary.
