I have experimented with various levels of belt kit. I have a full set of PLCE webbing I put together to use for stuff. But these days it sits in a box unused as it doesn't really work well with a pack, and it makes my bum too big...
I have a 2" wide leather belt I made myself on which I hang my Bahco laplander, and occasionally another knife. I don't tend to put much else on it, and I only wear it when I'm in the woods working on something. I have to take my pack off when I wear it as the two don't mesh well, it also isn't ideal with jackets etc... But for being able to just put my hand on my saw when I'm making something, it's great. It's just limited to only these situations really.
I would approach this from a different angle. What are you thinking you want to carry on your belt? Once you decide on that, you can then decide what sort of belt you want to use.
