Most people put the weightbelt over the crotch strap so that it can be released easily in an emergency.
I would suggest having 2 metal buckles on the weightbelt to prevent it from accidentally coming off.

I wear mine under the crotch strap but i dive dry.Most drysuit divers wear it under the crotch strap as you have your drysuit for back up buoyancy if needed.
Most wetsuit divers wear it over the strap as it is more important for them to be able to easily ditch it as they dont have a back up buoyancy device like a drysuit.

I wear my under my crotch strap. I have no problem releasing my weight belt either. Just unbuckle and pull it out from under the crotch strap. Also if it accidently comes undoen during your dive, your crotch strap will catch it.
I put the weight belt on first and then the backplate and harness. I prefer the weight belt under the crotch strap and the harness waist strap just above the weight belt on my torso.
I don't use a weight belt with my double 104s but I probably will with the double 72s I just put together... unless I get amitious and pour a V-weight for them.
