I have Shimano 9 spd, SRAM 9 spd and Campy 10 spd chains to deal with.

Thanks

I use a chaintool once for each chain: to shorten it when new. Then I use a
quicklink (sram, connex or whatever). Any cheap chaintool is OK for that
purpose.

Does the quicklink have to be replaced when the chain is worn out?

I consider the quicklink as part of the chain. When I replace the chain I
replace the quicklink. Often a quicklink is included when you buy a new
chain ie SRAM or Connex/Wipperman. The 'old' quicklink goes in my saddlebag
as a spare.

That last bit is a very good idea. It allows a much easier, and usually
better, field repair for a broken chain than carrying around a few links
of chain and a chain tool. Well, you should have those as well.
