My "Generac" 3600 rpm  2.5kw gen head is designed to be driven with a single V belt.  I know this because the single pulley is integral with the fan and cannot be changed.  If you were going with a larger gen head like a 5kw or larger I would certainly go with something like a double V.  Many of the large 5hp electric motors in our family drying kiln used 3 and even 4 Vbelts.  Worked fine.
