Some of the cheap ones- are cheap!.. I have had good luck with NAPA belts or Gates. They seem to be top quality.

Napa belts are just rebranded Gates belts, FWIW.

The diagram is in your owners manual at the very end of section 6.

As for the belts, you can still get it at a 'discount' parts store, just be sure to get the one that costs more. From what I've experiened they all sell the cheapies if you just say "I want a new belt", but can order a quality belt if you request it.
