looks like you run your chain really short, maby that could have something to do with it? as for brands, kmc have been the best to me.

SRAM PC951. Cleaned regularly after every race. Lubed well and not too tight. I run the hollow pin version also.

My guess is that your chain is too tight and snapping when the suspension cycles through all its travel/ bottoms out.

If your chain keeps snapping you probably have to short a chain , really bad chainline or perhaps the top roller on your chain guide is rolled too far backwards so when you got thru your travel the top guide/roller is taking up the slack.
