In any given chain size, there are different material strengths, and different designs. You should use the master link from the list shown with the specific type of chain. Obviously a lesser strength master link on a stronger chain, will snap the master link rather quickly.

On the other hand, I used to use whatever, and broke chains all the time. A set of 2 full links(clip type), and two half links(clip type) in your toolkit, will usually let you limp home after picking up all the pieces of your broken chain and re-assembling it.
