Your sprockets look "OK" to me, though the front is showing some wear.

If you want to get the most from your new chain (in terms of longevity) replace the sprockets. Plus, it's kinda one of those, "well, as long as you're in there.." things.

As far as which brand goes- meh, chain is chain, as long as it's got the right rating for your bike, and o-rings. Stick to the name brands (D.I.D, EK, etc.) and buy whatever's on sale.

And, yeah, Rivet link > Clip link.
