This type of gear is extremely personal. That means that what one person likes, another may not. Therefore I hate to recommend anything specific.
But for me, I prefer duty belts to web belts because they are more heavy duty and less prone to twisting. The loops at the bottom of the Eagle vest are made to help support the belt as well, so the belt doesn't have to be worn so tight that it's uncomfortable. Because I wanted my belt to match the OD color of my vest, I went with the Blackhawk. So far it has held up well. I assume several of the other belts would work just as well also.
I also chose the Blackhawk Omega VI Assault Holster for my Glock 17. I must admit that I tried to avoid Blackhawk gear as much as possible for personal reasons, but when I compared them all, this holster is what I liked most and bought. So far I still like it and think I made a good decision. The retention system and simpleness was what made me go with this particular holster.
Again, you can ask 10 different people this question and I would bet you will get 10 different answers. And none of them may be wrong! Just choose a manufacturer that makes quality stuff, then fine tune until you are left with the product/version that most suits you and your needs. Again, it's usually tiny details that really only matter to the individual that will ultimately help you decide what specifically you buy. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same, if they are all quality made.
