Ultra-6 worked just fine with SedisSport. So SedisSport, any of its Sedis/Sachs succsssors, or any of the more recent "6/7 Speed chains" should be fine. IIRC, Suntour sold a chain to be used with the Ultra-6, but I never bothered buying one and don't think I ever knew anyone who did. SedisSport was probably the most popular chain at the time, so most people just used that.
