Proper belts are better if it will be ran in reverse. Xpa/xpb/xpc cogged type are what I use.

I got nutlink for my Denford (The orange stuff), I found them much easier to clip into place than the leather stuff that was on originally, and much quieter/smoother too. I'll put a pic up later if you want

This was the stuff I got, Amazon was the cheapest place I could find at the time, worked out cheaper buying through there than the shop itself....

The pins on the inside of the belt are rubbing on the pulley .I've gone with the twistlink this time so time will tell if it was the right decision or not .
