Since you're doing sheet metal, you probably have enough room to use 2.5"+ diameter pulleys and can step down to 9mm.
The design I'm working on would be using the 42 tooth HTD pulleys from AndyMark for convenience sake so I wanted to see if I could get away with the 9mm belts so that I could fit two belts on a single pulley, which would save a significant amount of space.
