Default Timing belt replacement - What else should I get done at the same time?

So it's time for me to get a new timing belt and I have a few questions.

1) Should I get the tensioner changed as well? It's about an extra $75 to get it done.

2) Should I change the water pump? It's about an extra $275 to get it done.

3) They also quoted me changing the drive belt, I assume that is the same as the serpentine belt. I guess it has to come off in the process so they might as well change it.

Just for the belt it was around $400 but it starts to add up quickly with water pump, drive belt, and tensioner. That being said, if it really all needs to be replaced instead of just the belt I'd rather go ahead and get it done.

Anything else I should get done at the same time?
