Spend the extra few bucks and get a kit made by Gates. A timing belt kit really isn't something you should skimp out on.

What grabs my attention is not the price, is the tensioner and pulley made of metal instead of plastic
I 110% agree with slayer, if you cheap out on the timing belt, you WILL pay a hefty price in the long run; when said cheap timing belt breaks, and ruins the cylinder head!
this Gates timing belt kit seems to be cheaper, with plastic tensioner and pulley, could it be better ?

The big difference between the one recommended slayerized6 and the ebay is the lack of a water pump. Honestly the first one you picked on Amazon with the metal pulley and tensioner would be fine if you are not changing the water pump.
I will get the one with the metal tensioner and pulley, since it looks like a new item (available since April 21, 2015) but I have also read a lot stories about the plastic tensioner braking apart.
Will get the water pump from another vendor.

A view of the heavy duty timing belt kit and the standard kit, the heavy duty belt has a thicker wire core
How did the heavy duty timing belt kit end up working? Still going strong? Let me know I'm curious on which kit I should get for my 2007 chevy aveo, it has 58k miles.
