[ST] Chain Information

So I may be looking into a new chain. That said, I'm a bit ignorant as to what all of the numbering/codes mean. In my little bit of searching, it appears that the first number (525, 530, 630, etc) is about a tensile strength - and the higher the number, the greater the tensile strength. The letter designation after this first number then appears the be the type of chain (o-ring, x-ring, and other variations). However, this is still confusing as RK and DID use some strange coding here. Lastly, I know that the ST uses a 108-link chain - am I correct that you just buy one longer than that and take it down to what you need?
Any corrections to what I have put together above, and any other additional information would be greatly appreciated. That said, looks like I am getting an X-ring of some kind.
