Since I started using Wipperman chains 3 seasons ago, I’ve never looked back. I don’t have experience with the 11 speed chains, as I’ve only got 8 speed and 9 speed set ups, but I find they not only run and shift more smoothly than KMC and Shimano, they also seem to last significantly longer. The Connex link is by far the best design for a quick link, and I’d use it regardless of which chain I had. I was unable to get a Wipperman chain last time I needed a new one, as they are becoming hard to find in Canada it seems, but I still put the quick link into the Shimano chain I ended up with, and haven’t had any issues. The Shimano chain is definitely wearing faster though, and I’m on the hunt for a Wipperman replacement (with reasonable shipping)
