Default Best belt for 6 rib set up

Alright guys I know you're going to say the fleet runner. I have an ecs 1500 6 rib set up but I have a 10 rib 10% OD IW balancer. I have a 91 5/8" fleet runner that I got from rock auto dirt cheap but it's about a 1/2" too short. I can't muscle it on. Next size up on a fleet runner is 92 7/8" which I feel is going to be too big. So, if I can't run a fleet runner what's my next best option? Not ready for flip drive yet.
Thanks for any insight and if anyone needs this length fleet runners let me know. I have 2 of them.

Thanks for the response ac man. I know slippage is an issue with these cars and I just want to do my due diligence in trying to minimize it.

some say the regular black gates grips better than the green HD . because it's softer and has more flexibility

... I prefer the fleetrunner if available in the size you need but the regular gates works great as well
