There is no advantage to v-belts. With a standard tensioner a serpentine will not slip, takes-up less room, doesn't have to be adjusted, etc. I seriously considered sourcing the brackets and such to change mine to serpentine, but a good v-belt set-up has no major shortcomings either. (at high RPM a serpentine would be less likely to slip however)
