Default The Best Belt Is?

As stated in the subject line what is the best drive belt for my machine I have a 95 scrambler 4x4 model w957840. I have my eye on a Gates 20G4022 Belt that i can get super cheap, now is this the best one or what.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
RUBEN

3211077 Oem belt hands down. Had too many people at the shop that tried aftermarket belts and had problems with fitment. Dimensions were usually wider,plus some were shorter and tighter which made even some non ebs models creep. Just my on this.

the original manufactures belt(the belt that Polaris puts on it). these have best performance as the size of the belts tolerances are correct unlike aftermarket belts are sometimes not.

I have a Dayco belt on my Scrambler and it's working great. However, I really only got it because I found it dirt cheap at a local surplus store. Otherwise, I would have probably just stuck with OEM.

On almost any machine, oem belt is best. Not always the cheapest but going to last the longest.
