It all depends what gear ratios you want to achieve. Generally speaking, a direct drive system would use either Oldham Couplings or drive pulleys of the same diameter. For increased torque and slower speed, you need to use a smaller pulley on the motor (or a larger pulley on the leadscrew).
Incidentally, notice I linked to HTD5 pulleys above? I bought T5 pulleys and then discovered the belts are pretty expensive. The HTD5 pulleys are (apparently) a better choice as they will have less backlash and are easier/cheaper to get hold of.
