Supercharger drive belts

If there's a thread where this info is summarized, I couldn't find it. Can we compile a list of supercharger drive belt applications by pulley size and get it posted in the stickies? It would make it easy for anyone buying a used pulley to see which belt they need to use with the pulley. Maybe some feedback on the quality of the belts too.

For example, what are the best belts (MFG and PART NO.) to use with:

168mm?

175mm?

178mm?

180mm?

168mm can use the stock belt -- not sure what the size 'mm' is but this information would be very useful

The belts are 8 rib. 168 can use a 50.5" belt and the 175-180 can use the 51.5" belt. i have used goodyear gator back belt and it has worked well for me. right now i switched to Gates/NAPA greenback HD belt.
