I tend to agree what Matthew says, I replaced my serpentine belt and the idler pulley at 80k miles, but I ended up saving both parts because I could have easily gotten another 20k miles. I see no need to ever replace the tensioner as preventive maintenence. I also use belt dressing.
You can extend the maintenance intervals on some parts, but be aware that there is downside, and I'd advise you should periodically inspect the belt and pulleys - pulleys tend to exhibit excessive play when worn, and the biggest tell tale is almost always a change in the sound from the engine compartment.
I think the idler pulley was $ 20 and the belt around $ 30
