15% Alta V2 Pulley, belt choice?

Hey guys, i just ordered a 15% Alta V2 pulley and im definately going to buy a new belt. I've been told to get the Goodyear Gatorback but how does that team up with the Alta, because both parts seem pretty focused on no belt slip, but do the treads of the belt and the patterns of the pulley match up well together? Also, if the gatorback is the belt of choice, any ideas on the part number?

Stick with the OEM belt. I had a G'back, but took it off. Didn't like the extra noise.
