The belt is good to protect your lower back. But the problem is that then you dont strengthen your lower back. Make sure your doing hyperextensions. If your lower back is strong enough to support, then you dont need a belt. As for the width. I just tried em all and got the one that i liked most.

Use a belt for your heaviest lifts. But don't for just "lifts" in general. You want to build the stabilizer muslces as suggested. As far as quality goes, you can't beat Inzer Look for the competition level belt. 10mm is fine. It's a GREAT belt. Long lasting. Very good support. I've never used a better one. I know plenty of people who use the old leather belts and love them. I just found this to be very good.

Avoid using belts if at all possible and target your lower back with good mornings, etc. The abdominal area is the core muscle group and the lower back is a part of this as well, so you need this as strong as possible.
