I need to replace a timing belt in a PT Cruiser. Who makes the very best belt to install- OEM or another aftermarket brand?

OEM always. IMO anyways.
Thanks- it's a costly repair and I just want to be sure saving $10 doesn't mean another 4 figure repair any sooner than it should be.
In the past I have opted to use cheaper aftermarket brands but for the most part they have always let me down. I will only use OEM parts now.
For aftermarket: Gates

When mine snapped the local Chrysler dealer in NW Atlanta did the job including water pump, tune-up, diagnosis, etc. for $1,200. That was after an independent told me I needed a new engine...I think you go w/ the dealer!!
