The decent belts are made by either Gates or Dayco and really there is no difference between them. Gates produce there own kits and supply the belts for Renault where as Dayco make there own type approved belts but also rebrand for the Continental and INA kits. Again the belt itself doesn't really make a difference (brand wise) but the bearing and tensioner set does as neither Gates or Dayco make bearings.

Ideally you want to look for a kits with the OE French bearings and tensioner in them which are Littens and BRS. You tend to find the INA and Conti kits not only contain the OE bearings but also contain the end float plugs in Renault bags.
