I don't use a belt unless I'm going for a double or single in the squat. I use an Inzer 13mm two-prong. You don't want to rely on them and have an underdevolped midsection/lower back. In fact, you should try to avoid all support gear because it just acts as a crutch and you'll end up relying on them too much, causing an imbalance. e.g. underdevloped grip strength due to the use of straps.
But to answer your question: I believe Inzer, hands down, makes the best belts and wraps in the industry. APT also has very good belts and are a bit cheaper than Inzer.

that's not an issue when a belt is used properly. You should be expanding your abs into the belt to create a mechanical advantage (hoop tension). Belts are akin to bench shirts in that they require you to fully contract your working muscles while allowing you to use more weight

Bingo. As my boy clint darden said (look him up) train abs when you train abs and train back when you train back. Use a belt.
