Evans has a single, cheap 1/8th chain available on their website.
The 'bang for buck' ratio is out when it comes to good 1/8th chains on the road. Even if it does outlast the equivalent 3/32 chain, you should be changing them more often than 'wearing them to the end'.
If you've got 1/8th, run it but I wouldn't bother swapping over to 1/8th just because of some (falsely) perceived strength benefit.
