Recommendations on serpentine belt

2007 Honda Fit with 85k miles. I’m going to be changing the belt here shortly (preferably before 100k).

I’ve heard that Goodyear Gatorback is good and is made to not squeak. I’ve also heard OEM is good too, it’s just a little expensive for me ($50+)

what have y’all used in the past and had good or bad experiences with?

I've changed belt 105,000 miles
Installed the US made Mitsuboshi 5PK1140
low mileage used (yes used!) belt from 2007 Fit at the junk yard in April
Works good so far (my original belt was quiet but 14 years is a long term)
Had bad experience with customer car (belt from the Autozone; had to adjust the tension after 100 miles)
My motto: used genuine or top brand part is better than new aftermarket one.
