My opinion. Wheel alignment reigns supreme!
It is, after all, a two wheeled vehicle. Both of them should be going in the same direction.
You would be wrong. If the pulleys are out of alignment the belt will wear in short order. On the extreme side, you run the risk of the belt riding up the side of a pulley and removing itself.
The wheel adjustment marks are not to be trusted. If the marks are off by half a notch, but the pulleys are in alignment, then you should ignore the hash marks.
BTW, being a single track vehicle, a motorcycle has the ability to manage front / rear misalignment quite well.
