OEM or Autozone drive belt?

OEM is 87 bucks at the dealer...Autozone/etc has the belt for 52.

Is there anything better/different about the OEM? The belt lasts for like 4-5 years before you notice wear, so its not a big difference, but then again, 35 bucks is 35 bucks.

thoughts?

Heard many using Gates, so I bought one online for $25.

GATES Part # K070690 {K07 15/16" x 69 1/2"}

Later bought the Gates auto tensioner.

I've used both and prefer Goodyear for less noise.
