Default Chain and sprocket replacement - what are my options?

Evening people.

My chain is past its best so I'm looking at a replacement kit. Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking for when it comes to good/bad brands or where to buy. Obviously I could go for an OE chain and sprockets from Suzuki but I've done a search through the forum and nobody seems to suggest that option.

What brands can people recommend for a replacement set? I've seen that Renthal do chain and sprocket sets and they're a pretty decent brand for other bike parts aren't they?

Would people recommend changing the gearing with a smaller sprocket? My 650 doesn't lack for pace off the line but my aerodynamics means she tops out well before the gearing does so, if it's a viable option, adjusting the gearing to suit my ownership of the bike could be a welcome change.
