I agree that the smallest round and oval chains are definitely best for small pendants at 18". The ribbon chain is the smallest I'd consider for a 32". These go on sale at Bloomingdales and Saks during Friends and Family sales in the spring around late March early April. It's usually 20-25% off. I think Bloomingdale's has an additional percent off if you sign up for their email list close to the time you want to buy. While I like DY chains, I don't think they are right for TSC at all. I don't think paperclip style is right for TSC pieces, either.
Here's the 32" TSC ribbon chain. Regular price is $3250 so take at least 20% off if you can wait for the sales in late March early April.
If you aren't going with a TSC chain, this are the one I would get below as they are more similar to TSC than RC or DY. The second one appears to be close to the ribbon chain in link size. The first one would have to be extended to 32" (or whatever length you want) which they will do. I actually had TSC extend my 32" chain to 34" because I am 5'6" and needed a little more length.

But bottom line, I'd really recommend the TSC ribbon chain when it's on sale. I think many of us considered going with less expensive chains but ultimately decided it was worth getting TSC for the overall aesthetic especially since they go on sale.
@DS2006, I think you grabbed the link for the TSC Extra Small Oval chain by mistake. The Ribbon chain is more expensive than the Extra Small, but as you noted, these are periodically available on sale. If of interest @opensesame here are links for the 32" Ribbon chain:

I am not too familiar with Roberto Coin, but I recently tried on 1 of their larger pendants on a paperclip chain (I think it was the Venetian princess medallion charm) and I was surprised and disappointed by the chain. The look was fine but it was much lighter than I expected- maybe the links were hollow? No offense meant to any Roberto Coin fans!
The big puffy heart looks so beautiful on the Spiral necklace.
I knew you intended to post the link to the Ribbon chain.
