I'll second what Kevin says.
I have an account with HPC but to be honest I find them expensive.
They tend to get used for specials that are on the shelf.
RS are very competitive.
Go for the 5mm pitch HTD series at 15mm wide.
You get far more choice than using L or H series timing belts and they
are actually more efficient, at 15mm they look skimpy but I can assume
you they will handle more power than your motors can put out.

Search http://rswww.com for something like 40-5M-15 where 40 is the
number of teeth required.
That one as an example is £8.78
