Yes it would be smarter. Most say a chain will stretch faster then a belt but a belt does have a shorter life span I changed my Jesel after 3 seasons and it was still tight But I don't take chances I was more worried with it being dried out

IMOHO I'd stay clear of a gear drive

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
