A regular old non-O-ring is more efficient because it doesn't have the seals creating friction.
An O-ring chain will live longer because it's sealed - keeping grease in and dirt out.
If you keep a standard one adjusted and lubed and it will be fine, plus reduce rolling resistance from friction. I would think you would want to run the tension on the loose side, but still reasonable.
