I have the gates kevlar belt. It's great.
Pros: great performance
Update: it was the water pump. Got a new Gates water pump (screws and gasket included). Installed it, no sealant or anything. Works flawlessly. Not a drop anywhere.
Pros: works flawlessly, no leaks

I’ve always worked on Miata’s, but I’ve never used anything other than gates timing belt and water pumps. Only time I’ve had a gates timing belt fail on me was due to my own fault in which the belt was rubbing on the timing covers until it got caught and ripped a chunk out of it. Even without that chunk it still ran and drove fine while revving the engine 1000rpms past its intended revlimiter.
Pros: ran fine even damaged
Cons: belt rubbing on covers
Vehicle:
Mazda
I've bought parts for cars that claimed to be made in Japan only to find made in China stamps on some of the parts included, like gates timing belt kits most of the parts were from Japan except one of the pulleys they switched to China source so I know to not use the Chinese pulley in that kit
Cons: Chinese pulley quality concern
Did a gates kit on mine. Water pump is leaking after 60k miles.
Cons: leaking after 60k miles
Vehicle:
