Rebuilding a belt sander - advice needed

[Pevehouse]

Red Label Abrasives on Amazon, or Norton off Zoro

Sorry to bother again, but I’m seeing a few different materials. Zirconia, aluminum oxide and ceramic. Is there one I should stick with or anything I should stay way from?

Abrasive choice depends on material to be sanded.
Get aluminum oxide for wood and metal multipurpose use and silicon, zirconia or ceramic for very hard metals.
