It is not the TB that is the problem, it is the mechanical tensioner that fails first, before the actual TB failure.
A Blue Box Volvo OEM kit for your car is not that bad, around $110 or so, better be safe than sorry.

An Aftermarket timing belt is an unpredictable time-bomb. Ask me how I know. 
As Abscate said yours Google search back to the famous belt brand called Autopart International (a subsidiary of Advanced Auto) I would not use non-oem belts if you gave them to me for free. Battery's yes... timing area parts, no thanks.
