I have in Inzer Forever 4" 13 mm lever belt and would recommend it to anyone. Thickness is a personal thing, so be sure if you prefer a 13 mm or a 10 mm before buying it, because 'Forever' means forever. It will last a lifetime.
I prefer a lever, but many prefer the easier adjustability of a single prong belt. I don't see the need for a double prong belt myself. It's just harder to put on, and it's not like a belt this sturdy will rotate a whole lot. But, I'm sure some prefer it.
For break-in, I wore it for all lifts the first week I had it, storing it in the box it shipped in (which will keep it wound pretty tight). Once it was easy to put in the shipping box, I started storing it in a smaller box (for a tighter coil). It broke in pretty quickly.

If getting a basic black belt (lever or buckle), Inzer generally keep a bunch stocked, and they ship right out. Lead time is longer for different colors, though. They do warn of this on the website, which is good.
I called them with a question when I ordered mine and they actually have actual people answering the phones, so it's easy to find out what's in stock.

True. My 4" belt is okay for conventional deadlifts, but 2.5" or 3" would probably be better. 4" is good for me for everything else, including sumo deadlifts. But, someone shorter may prefer 3" as a regular belt, and probably most everyone else would prefer it for the conventional DL.
