The best full chisel chain I have used is the Stihl RS. I mostly cut Douglas fir and it hauls through that when kept sharp. When I had to log out a bunch of windfall 4 year ago I only would file one time after lunch. I have also used Stihl RM which is a "semi-chisel" design. Probably 10% slower cutting than the RS and I don't notice that it goes any longer between filing.
I cut up a pretty good bunch of semi-dry oak and black locust for firewood last spring and did find that RS lost its edge pretty quickly. Had to give it a couple strokes with the file every couple tanks.
I may be a bit of a stickler about sharp chains, but IME it's much more efficient to take 5 minutes to file and keep the chain nice and sharp than it is to keep muscling through the cuts.
