Gun belt size/holster brand suggestion

I see most custom gun belts are offered in 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". I measured most my pants and it looks like the 1 1/2" will fit, but depending on the thickness it might be tight.
What do you guys think, should I go with the thinner one for more "compatibility" or do you guys just take that into consideration when buying pants?
Second, I've decided on a strong-side holster with a FBI forward-cant design. I can't decide on a paddle or IWB design. (suggestions?)
Third, I REALLY like Kramer holsters and belts, they look to be the best designed and built out of all I've found. What do you think of them and any other high-quality suggestions? Price is an issue, but I'd rather spend the extra and get true quality. I realize that if I get quality stuff that I'll be able to carry my G29 more often and can leave the wimpy .380 at home more often.
I am very close to making up my mind on all this and I PROMISE I'll quit askin' these types of questions. [:I]

A decent gun belt is the best investment you can make IMHO. Kramer does not make anything bad that I know of but for the money, G&G, Don Hume or Old World Leather (Uncle Mikes), Makes a good product. Try http://ss02.lynk-systems.com/southernpoliceequip/html/all_holsters.html for some decent options.
Personally, I like a paddle or minimalist belt slide. I go lots of places where it is illegal for CCW and the paddle style allows for easier 'taking off and securing' and the belt slide when empty is not noticeable as a holster. Unfortunatelly I already have to much me IWB for that style without buying a new wardrobe and belts to accomodate the holster and gun.

They aren't cheap either but look to be very good quality.
