Default CVH wide cam belt

Hello and good night. I have to change my cam timing belt, and I have seen that in CVH engines from 1992 the belt is 21.6mm wide.
My car is 1988 and I have de 19.8 mm wide belt, can I use the more modern belt that is 21.6mm or I have to change some other bits, like crankshaft pinion?

I suppose the wider belt is better, because probably it is more resistant. Also what manufacturer do you recomend for the belt. I have seen Dayco and Gates belts.

Thanks for the attention.
