Default Timing Belt

I would do the timing belt, waterpump, tensioner, thermostat... Thats what I usually replace when I work on one!

If you are doing the timing belt your best plan of attack is:

Timing Belt
Timing Belt Tensioner
Cam Seals
Waterpump
Front Main Seal

All of that stuff goes hand in hand, it will cost you less by far in the long run to do it all in one shot.
