IMO, they are both fine.
Gates seems to make good products across the board. Their tensioners look a lot more like OE than Dayco's.
The Gatorback belt is more resistant to pulley misalignment.

My ex-Ford mechanic neighbor when I lived in CO recommended Goodyear Gatorback belts.
I replaced my tensioner and idler pulley with Ford/Motorcraft pieces, and the belt was the Goodyear Gatorback.
