I have read on some threads that a 8 versus 9 speed chain is a minimum for a ss set up. Please advise.

Thanks, I was concerned about fit.

I have a slightly used Durace from when my setup was a gearie. I am going to use a Niner cog and a Salsa chainring so I should be good to go on fit? I guess I will have to experiment with fit.

Why use a chain that is specially designed to fall off your chainrings? (It's a great chain otherwise)

A single speed specific chain is designed not to flex laterally and to stay on the rings.
