Aisin timing belt kits vs. Dayco Timing Belt Kits

[drz]

Been looking for timing belt kits (timing belt, water pump with gaskets, tensioner bearings, idler gear) for performing timing belt change on 2003 Toyota 4Runner V-8. Found two package kits with identical contents, one by Aisin the other by Dayco. The only apparent difference is Dayco is $100+ more expensive. Both have identical warranties. Any suggestions on which is the best buy?

I can't say one way or the other, but my son's '03 Tundra w/the V8 had 103K on it and we paid to have the timing belt replaced. It was a Mitsubishi timing belt that replaced the factory one.
