The christophe leather ones have been good to me.
The nylon ones tend to work themselves loose easily as there isnt much for the buckle to grip to. Leather ones are thicker so the buckle digs in and stays put. They are also more comfortable.
Some people have the opinion that leather ones stretch, I havent really noticed too much of this. A little but of stretch is infinitely better than them coming loose every few minutes.
