i have tried all three. my opinions are:

gatorback strtched and whined
gates made the good ole squeeking noise on wet or humid days, and slipped.
i use dayco

all the above belts were used on all three of my vehicles



Yeah I've had problems with the Gatorback belt. I bought one earlier this year, and it whined really badly for about 5 months. When it quit whining, it stretched to just about out of range of the tensioner.
 
The Gatorback supercharger belt for my wife's GTP was a pain in the butt to put on!

I'm defintely going with Gates next times.
 
OEM belt is best. I have a 94 Corvette. Changed the original belt out at 30k just because I was replacing the Opti-Spark (all 92-94 corvette owners know about this devel! The 95-96 were improved) and since everything was off, replaced the belt too. I just like keeping my Corvette pristine and original. However - those Goodyear belts are extremely good too - used one on my Cherokee and boy what a quiet belt!
