I would seriously consider replacing both the serpentine belt tensioner and tensioner pulley (left hand thread) every other time you change the belt, ie. every 125K miles. The pulley are prone to failure (bearing goes). If the pulley fails you are stuck. It will start squeeling when it is ready to go, but you don't have long once you start hearing it. I changed the tensioner at 125K and ignored the pulley and it failed at 160K, fortunately right in front of the repair shop I use. I think tensioner costs about $120 and the pulley about $40.
