Also--in a pinch, if you really really need a chain on a Sunday when all the bike shops are closed, the house branded chains from X-marts and Wally Worlds run just fine on 5-6-7 cog systems. Sometimes they're KMC rebranded as "Bell" or sometimes a lesser Taiwanese maker whose name I can't recall off hand. I've used 'em on 6/7 speed bikes. Work and shift fine. For $10 you're on the road. Basically, you have to try really hard to find a *bad* 5-8 speed chain these days.
I'd say the only inexpensive chain I really don't get along with is the Sram PC-1, and that's a single speed chain--I find that it's a bit noisy on modern kit--though I've used it on older cottered cranks where it meshes silently.
