I would recommend a canvas belt all day long.
Using a belt allows you to put it on and take it off at will. This is especially helpful when gitting in and out of vehicles since you will, in all likelihood, be carrying various other items on your belt that may cause discomfort when you sit.
So, too, can you repostion it quickly and in such a way that your ammo is either in front, to the side, or at your back, depending on what the situation requires.
Being able to quickly take your belt off is quite handy when you recharge your belt with fresh ammo or change the rounds. So, too, when doing water crossings , take the belt off and all your other items being carried on your belt comes with. Your day to day wearing belt keeps your trousers in place, and after clearing the water, you are free to put your ammo belt on again.
An ammo belt allows you to put it on over all garments worn, allowing you quick and unobstructed access to your ammo.
Using a canvas / leather combination, I have found that my cases corrode a lot less due to the canvas being more breathable. It dries quick if wet from either rain or sweat, and it requires little to no break-in.
I so, too, prefer to use the double-loop configuration.
I feel it is a whole lot quicker and easier to pull two cartriges at a time, instead of one at a time, especially if your rounds are close to each other - it is not always that easy to get a proper grip on a single round. It has seldom happened to me that I require one round only, for once the shooting starts, two or more shots is usally fired, and having a firm grip on two rounds is an help for a quicker reload.
The little gap created in a double loop configuration allows your fingers to easily get in between your rounds, allowing a secure grip. And if you really only need one round....you can easily pull the single. And if you ever take possession of a double rifle.....your beloved, trusty and well used belt is allready set up for it.
When arriving back at camp, you can take your belt off, and stick it in your back pack or leave it in the truck, tuck your shirt in, and within seconds you look neat and presentable. And lets face it, a ammo belt does have a tacti-cool look to it .
