Anything FIA approved should be very similar. Options really come down to the buckle mechanism (I greatly prefer a camlock, but they're pricier) and pull-up vs pull-down straps. I chose pull-up on my RaceTechs based on disliking the pull-down on my previous Schroth Ralley 3's, but due to the way the seat and belts interact it almost makes it harder to tighten the lap belts, I'll probably go pull down on my next set. Oh and 6 point vs 5 point... 6 point is a tad more comfortable IMO, but it really the 5 point crotchstrap isn't tight or anything, so it's really not much different either way.

Other than that, there are little things like velcro for sticking the belts to the seat sides to help getting into the car, or straps for radio headset wires or drink tubes that you might care about. But that sort of stuff isn't critical, just nice.
