Belts come in different grades.
Always try to find premium belts.
The few extra dollars the premium belts cost is usually money well spent.
Also look at the pulley alignment very closely.
I have seen several posts about the tensioner wearing out, which may cause it to be misaligned.

As Dave stated.......... remove the belt and check the tensioner pulley for an abnormal angle........ use a wrench on the pulley bolt and rotate the tensioner slightly and see if there is any abnormal in and out movement of the tensioner/pulley. Make sure you are using the right number of grooves on the belt, count the grooves in the pulley(s). Also check the tin plates are installed correctly on the pulley just below and behind the tensioner
