Default Timing belt tensioner

Quick question for those of you that have replaced the timing belts. Do you replace the tensioner too? I nearly had my wife's PT put back together when I was told that I should have replaced the tensioner at the same time due to the failure rate of the type 1 tensioner that was originally put on. Apparently I should have replaced that with the new type. Does the old type have a high failure rate? So I've stopped at about 90% put back together and wondering if I need to tear it apart again.

Thanks,
