Default chain sprocket questions

Well Im due for a new chain, tensioners are fully tight and chain is still slack. Too bad the tensioners aren't shorter cause the axle can still slide aways back. Anyway, I'm sure I can find a chain/sprockets on eBay, any recommendations? What's the deal with getting less teeth for more acceleration? How does it exactly affect the bike?

When I bought the bike I was told it had a new chain. In the last year I put about 12k miles on it. At the time the marks were within new chain spec. The front sprocket teeth are almost sharp at the ends and all formed evenly. The rear sprocket teeth ends are flat and wore unevenly rough. What shape should the teeth take? Thanks in advance!

I went through lytle on my last change. JT sprox and a gold d.i.d. chain. Great quality and a reasonable price.
