Yes, galvanised chain is probably more corrosion protection than you need if you're not riding on salted roads, but the Wippermann is also cheap.
FWIW, I've just put this KMC S10 (aka Z1X-Inox) on my MTB, wouldn't have paid £20 for it but for £8.99 it's a bargain. The weight weenie option would be a 9-speed chain, pretty much all 3/32" single speed rings and sprockets will happily work with 9-speed chain and it's a little lighter than 8-speed. I wouldn't, but I'm not weight obsessed about any of my singlespeed bikes.
