I found this OEM kit on ebay, and it looked like it included everything but the tensioners.

Is it worth it to buy the OEM tensioners AND that kit, since they are Honda brand? Or should I just buy the Honda timing belt and a Bando brand kit for the rest? Or should I JUST buy a Bando Brand kit for everything?
Here's the Bando. Are they good enough? I read somewhere that they make Toyota's "OEM" belts.

i would only use honda/acura parts myself.........and replacing them there tensioners is a must do along with water pump
Up to you, just remember it is your motor, bad parts could lead to an expensive fix.
Some things are worth the extra $$ for. Timing belts , Tensioners, and Water pumps would be some of those things

tensioners by THEMSELVES were like $130 from the honda store for me w/ discount. but the motor is solid, and thats what counts.
