I have Gates and Dayco pulleys available locally. I believe Gates is supposed to be the gold standard but with all the outsourcing going on who knows anymore. I did rebuild the tensioner a few years ago because it was chattering badly, I haven't seen any sign of it bouncing around since so I'm guessing that part of the assembly is okay.

Did you modify the Tensioner such that the pulley inner hub was not in contact with the tensioner at any place? Take a close up photo of the Aluminum Pulley belt surface. Also a close up photo of the failed surface.
Was the Pulley Bearing Snap Ring on the outside or toward the engine?
