AC delcos are good.
Dayco are good, they wont let you down
Goodyear belts, including their serpentine gatorback, are made of neoprene. Under high heat conditions, the neoprene life is compromised. Dayco seems to revamp their technology every decade or so. Gates seems to be a favorite amongst many.

Throw in my vote for Gates also. Dayco has not been good for me on 2 separate vehicles for belts.
Gates belts are consistently good. I have had some Dayco belts last for ages, and others fail in less than 1 year of driving. The newest "W-rib" Dayco appears better than previous versions, but only time will tell what works best.
I almost always get Gates coolant hoses simply because they cover more applications. They seem fine, but I prefer OEM coolant hoses in most cases.
I'm not sure how good Goodyear belts and hoses are, because I rarely ever encounter any.
I often find that ACDelco is a gates or a Dayco product with ACDelco written on it.

Bando belts. OEM for many [censored] and Krean imports.

That, and many Japanese car companies use Mitsuboshi/MBL 3 stars. They are also good belts. However, don't count on being able to find them on all cars.
