Squeaky belt on start-up: Should I just get a pulley mod?

So my car is having a bit of a squeaky sound at startup, I think it is either the serpentine belt that is dry, or perhaps an idler pulley/belt tensioner or another pulley is going bad.

I could just try a to lube up the belt or try a new belt altogether, but I may want to take an opportunity to mod the pulleys and get something like the Evosport kit. Which pulleys come with that kit? And would any of them possibly solve my squeaky sound problem or is that unrelated?

I had some thing like that for a while and could not figure out what it was. I did get a psk and it seemed to go away, so maybe it was related to a pulley.
