Used a aisin timing belt kit and it worked fine. I did have to buy the longer bolt for the small idler bearing tho since the new ones have 2 bushings instead of just 1.
Pros: worked fine
Cons: needed longer bolt
Vehicle:
Subaru

I used the basic ContiTech kit there when I did my GTI. I also separately sourced a pump with a metal impeller and a Conti accessory belt.
Pros: metal impeller, Conti belt

Just did my timing belt on my EJ22 (98 Outback Sport) two weeks ago. Gates kit ran me $200. I wouldn't recommend anything aftermarket under Gates.
Pros: reliable quality
Cons: inferior aftermarket alternatives
