The idler fails more often. The power steering pulley is fixed to the PS pump drive shaft..if that's what's making noise then you might need a new pump.

Take the belt lose and spin the idler pully -- you will then know. If its rough, it should be replaced. Its an easy job -- pully with bearing is about $20-$30 from Joe. While you are under there, you should just replace all three.
