Back when I made a living logging we tried everything going for chains. Ran .325 on small saws for softwood 242-357 Huskys.  21lp was the hands down favorite for most crews. 95vx was decent up to 50cc but on 254 or 357 lp was quicker. Had a lot off chains breaking in 95vp and bar tips were weak.

At the shop now the remaining pro guys still buy 20/21lpx, only homeowners buy RS.
As for fastest chain out of the box probably RS,but to quote our Bowater instructor, " if you think a chain is fast out of the box, you need a filing course"

Have fun, if someone can find an old loop of 33LG watch out.

Why 50 gauge? No 58 in US?
