Whatever you do don't use a crown unit unless you want to be stranded somewhere.
Make sure to use a genuine tensioner and belt. I can highly recommend using midnightmods. Have done business with them on many occasions and it has been nothing but a great experiences.

There is massive threads about crown tensioners failing and causing damage.

I tested three, the best they lasted was 6000km before snapping the bolt in the block.

You can pick up genuine units for in aus cheaper then that too

I have a crown unit you can have for $40 same as pictured brand new, but install it at your own will
Going to get rid of it as soon as I can and get one off you , would the bolt need replacing as well do you think just in case?

The bolts are under alot of stress once the tensioner starts to wear out.
I just add them in as a free item with the tensioner as a just incase. Its a painful job and even more painful to do it with a snapped bolt in the block.

Better to be safe then sorry
