When you consider that if the pump or one of the tensioners seize, the T-belt goes and hence the engine; its cheap insurance to spend the relatively cheap money to replace all the rotating bits. I saw an Audi V6 once that lost a tensioner just after 5K miles on a T-belt change and it wasn't pretty. $25 for a new tensioner in this case would have saved a world of grief.
