You just want a K060975 belt, either a gates racing version or a standard version.
The Idler pulley is a gates 38006
You can order it from amazon/rockauto.com or your local autoparts store.
After replacing the idler pulley with the gates pulley and a racing belt I didn't have any problems with belts (the only problem I had previously was a squeaking pulley).
I wouldn't be worried.... just replace the pulley when you get the kit, and use the included K060975 or upgrade to a gates racing version of the same belt (K060975RB). I would not be paranoid as long as you do the pulley swap.
I'm actually running a higher PSI pulley with a STANDARD belt with no issues right now and the gates idler pulley 38006.
The most important thing you can do after install is to check all the belt/pulley clearances with your charge pipes and to make sure that all the brackets are installed properly so that the supercharger pulley is aligned correctly with the rest of your belt system.
