Lever belts work fine, though they are a pain to adjust. "Quick release" style belts tend to wear poorly and I can't imagine they're easy to get tight. If you have trouble getting a buckle belt on, breath out and suck your gut in. Also, use a rack to help pull the belt tighter.
Titan makes a nice product, so does Eleiko (though add +$100 for the name alone). Not sure about the rest.
