Could be a lot of things. I used a gatorback belt to replace the OEM one and had LOTS of sqealing because the drive pully was slipping with the AC on or the Power Steering turned hard one way or another. I was able to fix it by getting an OEM belt, then cleaning all the pullies with a wire brush and some brake cleaner. If that doesn't work, you might have some damaged or misaligned components.
