Is there any difference in belts?

It looks like there are 3 companies making the 12 rib belt that I need, Dayco, Goodyear, and Gates. Is there any difference in them?

There is a small difference in material. Gates seems to stretch the least so that's what ProCharger uses.

Use the Goodyear gatorbacks if you can get them in 12rib. The tooth/belt face design is superior to anything I've found IMO. Granted, I only have 8rib experience but thats my opinion.
