Going to be changing the timing belt and water pump on my 01 in the next couple of months and was wondering who makes good ones for our cars.

^what he said. 
An OEM belt is about $85, but Modern sells an aftermarket belt for only $39. It's a good belt, I'm using one on my car. As far as the pump goes, it'll be over $100 for an OEM pump from your dealer, and it's about $75 for an OEM pump from on online dealer. I never looked into any aftermarket pumps, because I wanted an OEM quality one.

Waterpump wise, there is an ebay dealer that does great deals... paid i think $39 shipped for a new waterpump for a 2.5L Dodge Avenger (Eclipse basicly)

I bought Gates as well when I did mine.
$30? or something like that. I got a discount though.

spend the little extra and get a gatorback belt made by goodyear, should be able to get it at autozone...

Have run a few goodyear timing belts in the past, was not impressed at all with the quality or the lifespan. Between my own automotive experiances and my industrial/OEM experience at work I run with Gates whenever I can. May be a bit more money, but it's a much better belt.
