Which is better for a man's everyday chain?

The Suplight's 3mm flat curb link is wider and more visible for daily wear. The Metal Masters rope is thinner at 2.3mm but offers lengths up to 30 inches, which matters if you have a larger neck.

Which one is real sterling silver?

Both are listed as solid 925 sterling silver. The Metal Masters chain is made in Italy; the Suplight is made in China.

Both are solid 925 silver, so wear depends on care, not plating. The Metal Masters lobster clasp is a known, replaceable part; the Suplight clasp type isn't stated, so inspect it on arrival.

Is the Metal Masters chain worth the extra money?

At $58.99 it is competitive for Italian-made silver. Above $80, the Suplight's wider link and larger review base make it the better value if 18 inches fits you.

Which is better for a woman?

The Suplight, since it is sold as unisex and its 18-inch length is a standard women's size. The Metal Masters chain is cut for men.

Will either turn my skin green?

Neither should, since both are solid 925 sterling silver rather than plated base metal. Keep both away from chlorine and perfume to slow tarnish.
