HMV 2300H Drive belt advice

After a long old while, i now finally have my lathe and cutting amp up and running (REF:here) but the lathe needs a new drive belt and I'm not sure on what material would be the best for a replacement, or does it not matter?

So far I'm looking at getting either

Nylon Re-inforced Flat Rubber Drive Belts - https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Belts-Flat-Drive-Belts/c4601_8093/index.html OR Polyurethane - https://www.motionco.co.uk/index.php?route=product/round_belt

Although i just found this site: https://store.lathes.co.uk/belts which has many different types.

Can anyone advise on which is the best one to get?

Thank you.
