Default 97 accord SOHC ....crank,PS and AC pulleys... Underdrive or OEM?

I am going to get light weight pulleys for my car, and I'm wondering....
Which one should I get?
Underdrive will need new belts..... and... I don't really like the idea of "underdriving" any equipment...
OEM size.... ...sure it will be light weight, but how much better will it be?
If any one got opinions and technical "evidences"... let me know!
Thanks!!!!

If you see a lot of city driving, short commutes to work and ever plan to install a serious stereo system stay with the oem diameter, and stand back and admire the anodized pieces.
Reason??
Short trips and heavy electrical loads don't need your alternators' spinning slower, 'cuz it won't supply enough amps to recharge / maintain the battery or drive amplifiers.
