Default Mitsubishi timing belt...?

I'll be doing the timing belt on my '05 Es330, and looking into one of those Aisin kits on ebay.
However, majority of the kits i'm looking at have timing belts labeled "mitsubishi". I'm already not
a fan of mitsubishi vehicles, let alone a timing belt with their name on it.

Does anyone have experience with their timing belts? Are they as reliable as the OEM timing belts?

Or should I scrap the belt out of the kit and replace it with a toyota timing belt?

Also, what kind of coolant should I get for this car?

Thanks.

It's actually a Mitsuboshi, and they are excellent. You need Toyota Super Long Life aka Pink coolant.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when I first saw the name, but they're actually two different companies.
