All of this could have been found with a quick search.

Use an OEM timing belt.

Balance shafts are your choice. If taken out the car might shake a little but that is it.

I have always run and heard to run the OEM timing belt or the HKS belt. My car is the 2.4 DOHC and I have only been able to find the OEM timing belt. As for the balance shaft removal, I would do it just for the assurance that you will not loose the balance belt and then it messes up everything in the engine by messing up the timing belt. The only really noticeable differences that you will have is at idle it will vibrate a little more and the oil pressure in the engine will rise since you need to block off the oil gallery that goes to the bearings that receive oil from the engine block. The bearings that receive oil from the actual oil pump receive it through the actual balance shaft but the other balance shaft receives oil through the oil gallery in the block.
