Default Belts

Guys, forgive my ignorance but I am looking at changing all my belts when I service the car. I had the cam belt changed this last year but which other belts should I change?

Alternator,
Power Steering,
Fan Belt,

Are there any others?

Even when I have got the same make of belts from the same source, there have been differences in length on the alt belts, caused all the time by the width of the belts being slightly different, or 1.7mm in my case, so you end up with one belt taking most load or one being too tight.
I stand there with lots of belts on the counter sorting them till I get a matched pair!!
