Best serpentine belt brand?
Hey everyone, after an indy diagnosed my belt squeal to having a worn out serpentine belt, I am now undecided on what the best brand of a serpentine belt is out there.
 Below are serpentine belts I have debated getting so far. Please, any input on a recommendation would be greatly appreciated on this.

Any reason in particular in going with continental and OEM brand compared to a more expensive brand?

Seems like a legit reason. I just figured there are more durable/better quality belts out there compared to the previously recommended two. Have you tried anything but OEM and Continental in the past?

In the past on my saab 9-5, have tried good year gatorback. Was very good. On the bmw no reason to, just did one change at 75k, old belt looked just fine.

I see well, has anyone else had experience with other brand serpentine belts in the past on BMW or similar vehicles?
