2000 V6 timing belt replacement -- tensioner, seals

I am in the process of assembling all the needed doodads for the timing belt job for my new-to-my 2000 V6 Wagon.
It seems prudent (and many other threads emphasize it's essential) to replace the tensioner along with the idler pulleys and belt.
So here are two kits from RockAuto, one which includes the tensioner and one which doesn't. Given their pricing, is it unwise to go with the kit that includes the tensioner? Am I going to get suspicious-quality parts in this deal?
ACDELCO Part # TCK285 {4 Components (1 Belt, 1 Tensioner, 2 Idlers)
$192.89
GATES Part # TCK285BP {9 Components (1 Belt, 1 Tensioner, 2 Idlers, 5 seals)}
$192.79
Also, the 5 seals referenced in the second kit must be the cam seals and front main oil seal, correct?
Thanks in advance!
