The chain you've got on it at the moment should say what make it is if you look closely. You might need a new cassette as well, I would get a cassette just to make sure. All the chains I've bought come one length then you shorten them if needed. Count the number of links on your old chain then see how many links the new chain has and shorten it if you need to.

Any 8 speed chain will do.
As said, the chain wears at the same rate as the rear "cogs" (cassette) so that will 9 times out of 10 need need changing too.
