DID is generally acknowledged as the best brand, though RK, EK, Afam, Renthal,Tsubaki and Regina (and probably a couple more that don't immediately spring to mind) are all considered quality brands by most. (Personally I stick with first three brands, depending on application and cost etc.)

And yes, your chain pitch is 530 - if you're keeping the same gearing just count the number of links on your current chain for length, easiest to count from the joining link, or just mark one of the links with something to avoid confusion. (Note: If you you get an odd number of links, count again - it should be an even number!)

I'm not going to guess at your local dealers workshop costs, but a couple of phone calls to them should give you an average cost. (Some shops might possibly fit for free if you're buying chain and sprockets off them (and ideally you should be fitting sprockets as well), worth asking - you never know your luck)

DID50V4 or RK50MFOZ1 or the equivalent (so many to choose from nowdays)

You will pay silly prices for a chain/sprocket kit here, I buy overseas for a third of the $$
