The only halflink I could really recommend is the Shadow V2... The V1 is hazardously bad because the plates worked loose on the pins leading to the whole shooting match falling to pieces at random. I wouldn't risk running one of those YBN things... I snapped a link clean in half on one of those last year.
The Shadow V2 has improved pins and seemed to alleviate the whole falling apart thing. Still, on a fixed, I can't see the point of a full cranked link chain. One will do the same job and wear your drivetrain substantially less. It also means you don't have to use an oversize chain tool all the time.
