I've never heard of O-rings being damaged by using a chain brush. So far, I haven't seen any evidence of that.
I use kerosene because I can really give the chain a good soaking and wash the grit out. Using WD-40 in that quantity would be kind of expensive.
Both kerosene and WD are solvents, which means they'll remove whatever lube is on the outside of the chain. After cleaning a good coating of your lube of choice should do the trick.
