If you do get a standard weightbelt with hard weights, I recommend triglides in between the weights to keep them from slipping on the strap.
I have had no trouble wearing a standard weightbelt or had any problem with comfort. Also, you must get the weightbelt tight on the surface so that it doesn't slip at depth when your wetsuit compresses.

I use a Zeagle Brigade with a rip chord for integrated weights. My unit has rear weight pockets that I like as well. I put 10 lbs all total 3-3,2-2. This is for warm water diving. When I use my bag suit I need to use my harness. The first time I tried to use a belt with the bag it was always uncomfortable at depth. No matter hot tight I got it. I bought the Classic II and it is amazingly comfortable for me. I just need a good neck and shoulder rub when I get home. That's really not unusual anyway. When I did use the belt I did not have a problem with lead shifting as I twisted the belt so it would not move. I put the belt in the hole twisted it and then put it through the slot. The knot kept it tight. I did not need to buy anything. Now if I had an a$$ I would not need the harness either.
