RE: o-ring/x-ring
The actual rubber ring on O-Ring chains are round in shape if you cross section them. X-Ring chains are X Shaped when cross sectioned. X ring chains have better flexed sealing properties than o-ring chains, so they perfom better.
When it comes to sprockets, it's hard to give suggestions when the end result isn't specified. if you're going for weight savings, aluminum is the way to go, however, they don't last long depending on how hard you ride the bike. if longevity is what you're after, steel is the only way to go, but they can get heavy. if it's stylings, well, no one can help you with that as individual taste differes from one person to the next.
personally, i prefer AFAM or Sprocket Specialists.
