I have a set of Crow Rachet belts in my car and took the hardest crash I have ever had at Kokomo in 2017 and they held up fine. Hooker I think are the first I think that came into the openwheel industry. Hooker belts come from the aircraft industry and are probably the best in my opinion but also the most expensive. The thing I look at is what every you choose has to have an SFI rating and Hooker,Simpson and Crow all meet that rating.
To be honest the only reason I have ratchet belts is because I have a lack of help at the track and it is eaisier at that point for me to tighten my own belts. If I had enough help I would use pull belts and let a crew member pull me tight because in my opinion there are less parts in that system to maintain or fail, sometime simple is better. Ratchet belts are more of a convenience then they are any kind of added safety feature in my opinion.
