I found this OEM kit on ebay, and it looked like it included everything but the tensioners.

Is it worth it to buy the OEM tensioners AND that kit, since they are Honda brand? Or should I just buy the Honda timing belt and a Bando brand kit for the rest? Or should I JUST buy a Bando Brand kit for everything?
Here's the Bando. Are they good enough? I read somewhere that they make Toyota's "OEM" belts.

Since those parts are so critical....I wouldn't put anything on there except Honda OEM. If I were you, I would buy everything from
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com - they seem to be the cheapest Honda OEM parts I have ever been able to find.
Waterpump, tensioners, and timing belt - Honda OEM
Drive belts - whatever you want - you can replace these with little effort and they are not catastrophic to the engine if they break.

I bought a Gates timing belt kit. Gates is a good belt manufacturer and they commonly used in the hot rod/street rod/customs scene. If you're unsure about brands, Honda Genuine is your best bet.
