Question Which manufacture timing balance belt

Ive searched but haven’t found any conclusive and definitive advice, can you guys recommend a brand belt for balance and timing?

my belts, tensioners and rollers have about 4K on them, but were last completed back in Dec of 2003 by the PO. (also did a head/valve job at the same time)

This is such an important job to trust to a 10 dollar belt.. just wanna make sure im getting the right brand.

Is going with the Conti Okay? Should I get a belt from the dealer?
Conti 10 bucks (here)
Gates is about 23 (local NAPA)
(interestingly enough, when i called the porsche dealer he told me that the belt they sell is a gates belt)

while im at it, other than the belts is there anything else i'll need to get to do just the belts?

I have the full kit tools in the mail from Arnnworx but if theres other stuff i need please let me know...
