Stihl RSC chain is the fastest cutting. But it also dulls the quickest in dirty conditions. That's what i use most of the time, just gotta keep it out of the dirt.
I have 1 Stihl RMC chain that i bought for cutting trees out of the creek where it will be around gravel and sand. I haven't had a chance to use it yet but most everybody agrees it cuts slower.

20in on an 028...I'd go skip chisel.

Stihl RM/RMC or RMF for skip.

It cuts a bit slow compared to chisel(I reckon about 10-15% SWAG) right outta the box, but it stays there flinging chips like right outta the box, long past the point where Chisel starts shooting Powder.

The RM saves time, files, and chains last longer overall.
Ya just gotta give up that "Cuttin' like a raped ape" grin.

Hope this helps!

Stay safe!
