I'm old fashioned and still dive with a weight belt, but I find it much more stable to keep the heavier weights under my belly. When I dive with weight pockets, I do the same and leave the lighter weights on the belt to be ditchable. However, it may not be a good idea IF you weight pockets are not very secure (as in some designs with velcro closures).
 
I dive with an aeris AX200 which is a WI BC.
I have 50% of my weight in the camband pockets. 50% in the bc pockets.
I have to admit lately Ive been carrying 2.0kg in my bc pockets. My recent diving has been with fairly inexperienced divers so ive been overweighting 2kg for weight to hand over.
