I always buy a factory Mitsubishi timing belt, unless you are building a motor and setup with heavy valve springs and reving higher then stock.

Stock belt from the dealer, or a gates belt from craig@o'reily's :D

OEM Mitsu or Gates OEM replacement is the best choice as others have already stated.

Yeah if you are asking for the best timing belt then get one of those blue/purple kevlar belts. They are made stronger than the factory one, but cost more $$$.

The OEM one is fine. Or any high quality replacement, like a ContiTech.
