Yeah, it's definitely stretched.

There's an easy way to check that. Just grab the chain at the back sprocket, and pull it backwards. If it comes off the sprocket more than 2-3mm or so, it's on it's way out.

I like D.I.D. and RK chains, but I just buy whichever is on sale, no real preference. Renthal sprockets are fairly cheap, but I've also used JT's with no problems. I don't like Sunstar, as they seem to wear faster, (not sure why, they just do).
