IMHO go for the synthetic belt from Accura. Go to the large internet retailer known for books and search for "Replacement conveyor belt for 16" Performax/Ryobi/etc sanders ".
It's not cheap but its worth it. This belt lasts much much longer than a standard belt and is easier to get tracking.

I bought this one from Woodworkers Supply through Amazon:
A&H Abrasives 156143, Sanding Belts, Aluminum Oxide, (y-weight), 16x43-1/2" Aluminum Oxide 120 Grit Feed Belt.
Its been on for about 3 years with no issues.
