Default Timing belts

Hi,
My 99 GS300 miles is getting up there with 110K. I would like to replace my timing belts, and associate parts while its being torn down.
Should I replace the timing belts with Greddy belts or just save the money and stay with OEM?


Greddy Timing belt= higher durability, strength, longer life, and more money.
OEM timing belt= Toyota/Lexus reliability, and less money.

Please help me out.
