Definitely do both belts at once...

Definitely change both belts at once. It's so easy to do the serpentine belt when you've gone so far as to access the timing belt.
BTW, when I did my head gasket repair at home (at 125k), we mostly worked off of the itemized parts list from the dealer. The dealer had indicated cam shaft seals and the serp belt for routine maintenance so we did it--and glad so. So not all dealers are short sighted on maintenance! (Their price was brutal, however.)
Also, Richard -- my water pump is original at 139k and my serp pullies were working fine at 125k, although I replaced them. I actually wanted to change the pump and had mail ordered non-Saab (HEPU) replacement parts for these when we did the head gasket. However, the water pump we received was broken (one impeller missing) so I continued reluctantly with the original one. Knock on woodgrain dash.
I will replace all pulleys, both belts, and the water pump at 155k when the timing belt is due again. In the mean time, it looks my 87 Acura Legend now needs a water pump (original at 193,000mi) so I have other fun to keep me busy.
