Which timingbelt manufacturer should I choose for my 2008 V70 2.4D 163hp?

V70

So I recently bought a V70 with the D5244T5 engine and it needs a timingbelt kit ASAP, so I'm not driving it at the moment, but since there are so many options for the kits I thought I should ask you Volvo-nerds for some advice regarding the best brands. So far I'm leaning towards SKF, INA or Gates as these are the most talked about and seem to be reputable brands.

I will also replace the tensioner, idler pulley, waterpump and auxbelt at the same time!

If you're wondering why I bought a car with the need for a timing belt, it is just cuz I got it for so cheap its ridiculous.

Greetings!
