Pulley & belt replacement interval?

The last time I did an informal search (maybe 5 or 6 yrs ago), it seemed like idlers were 'sploding roughly every 55k-65k mi. Some lasted longer & not many failed earlier. My '00 Owner's Manual says to replace the belt every 90k but never mentions the pulley. I think the '02 manual shortened that to 60k, again w/o the pulley. I decided to replace both pullies & the belt every 50k, & my mechanic says he always does all three at 45k.
Is there an accepted interval others here have adopted? A fresh search (today) shows a regular rash of failures every year in the cold, which tells me either people aren't shortening their replacement intervals, or the intervals are different from mine.
