Why put in things that is not needed unless it's related to what you are doing?
If it's a timing belt tensioner, I say do the timing belt.
If it's the drive belt tensioner, replace the drive belt.
If it's a timing belt tensioner, I say do the timing belt.
If it's the drive belt tensioner, replace the drive belt.

My drive belt tensioner went out at 200k, you can fix that for under $50 and get a new belt and do that at the same time, I wouldn't worry about the timing belt unless you don't know when it was changed or you do know and it's been over 90k ago.

That's a hell of a difference in cost!! If you are just going to keep it stock, I'd go with the timing belt/tensioner replacement (if needed). If you are planning to go for more HP, then I'd buy a used 2JZ short block and build up a turbo setup and then drop that in once ready.
