Timing belt and water pump recommendations? S70 1998

Hi all-

I just bought a 1998 S70 GLT Turbo, 115,000 mi. I can't determine if or when the timing belt was changed, I can't locate the prior owner, and I have decided that out of caution I will change the timing belt, the accessory belt, and probably the water pump. I see a lot of different advice on this: should I buy Volvo or another reputable aftermarket belt and pump? I am suprised at how many belt manufacturers there are, and how much variation in price.

By the way, it has the normal problems: light switch, air pump. There will be a recall on the S70 light switch in a couple of months.

Suggestions will be appreciated. I will order the parts Monday or Tues, do the project next weekend.

Thanks.
