Default Timing Belt

When you guys replace your timing belts, do you guys always use the OEM belts? Or have any of you used belts from Napa or some trust worthy parts store? Is there any difference between the two besides price? NApa has a timing belt for 43bucks, dealer has it for 105? Will the Napa belt last as long and have the same quality has a OEM belt?

Help me out peeps. I know its only a timing belt, but I dont wanna get something thats not going to last and take the chance of my motor going to hell crook:

TIA

I've not seen the NAPA belts in personal. But from what I've seen from Goodyear and the like, the OEM belt looks much stronger.

OEM

I Was about to post the same link...
I would go with OEM just for peace of mind. Not to say the generic belts would not last but the timingbelt is one area you don't want to put in a part you have doubts about.
