I would personally NOT run anything but V-belt pulleys. They are much cheaper all the way around, and they are MUCH lighter as well.
If you don't think pulley weight is important, then consider that they are directly connected to your crankshaft and often have to accelerate even faster than the crank. This makes pullies rotating mass just like a rod or piston. Some people spend thousands of dollars to save a few grams/ounces of rotating mass attached to the crank. Pullies are cheap & easy.
My take on the March pullies is that they are mostly for show.
