Belt drive are typically toothed belts (at least those I have had) so slippage would not be an issue. They are reinforced belts so stretching is unlikely beyond what can be adjusted.

The wall (side) mount openers are a little more costly but open up the ceiling space for a storage solution and are practically silent (except the door noise).
