I did use the gatorback since I already had it in hand. It went on without probs and seems to be quiet. I'll post back here if I have any problems over the next months.
That was the right thing to do. Maybe the OEM is better, maybe it isn't. I put some other brand on mine at 32K but it was 7 yrs old and it's been fine for 7000 mi. Considering the labor involved with getting to the belt, I'd never go in there to just inspect it. While there, change it and be safe for another 60K, perhaps longer than you'll have the car.
