Have a look at the SRAM PC-X1 chain, that's what I run on my bike and it's taken a hammering. MTB chain from the ground up, solid construction, X-Sync compatible and I think the alternate black/silver links look cool.
You'll obviously need the new chain regardless to go from 30T-32T (which is exactly what I did on my Swoop). If you have the current chain and it's sized correctly, all you need to do is cut the new chain 2 links longer to allow for the extra 2 teeth. Or just measure it from scratch with the new setup.
If you go from a spider type chainring to a direct mount chainring (or if you already have a DM chainring) and you are running a Boost rear hub (which is the exact scenario I had too), you will need a chainring with a Boost specific offset (3mm) to account for the wider hub spacing and the lack of crank spider. I have the 32T version of this fitted: https://www.superstarcomponents.com/...arrow-wide.htm
As for the spacing of your rear triangle allowing for the extra diameter of the 32T chainring, I've found multiple accounts online of people putting 32T chainrings on their 130s with no issues so you should be fine on that front.
