I have a set of 6 piont G Force. Work fine - easy to adjust, stay very tight. Easy to buckle. Half the price of some others.

I like the Schroth Profi ii 6-point belts. The "pull-down" option on the lap belts is the easiet to adjust lap belt I've ever used. In our LeMons car (multiple drivers) it has made our pit stops a lot easier.
Not certain which car you're considering for a harness, but remember its part of a larger "system". You'll need correct seat (with proper opening for shoulder and anti-sub belts, proper mounting points & hardware, and either a roll bar or proper harness bar, in order for it all work properly/safely for you. A rollbar or harness bar can nullify rear seat use. Then, you need to also consider a HANS type device to protect your neck better.
In terms of safety, a modern car's 3 point belt and air bags is probably just as safe for the driver. But with a harness, the dynamics are quite different. The airbag is taken out of the equation for the most part. The harness holds the body in the place; the HANS is what controls/protects the head's & neck's movement. An improperly installed harness can actually be quite dangerous in a real crash situation.
But....a harness does hold you in place much better during performance driving. I would defer moving to a harness "system" until your track performance gets the point where staying in the seat during cornering becomes an actual problem.

Comfy?

Schroth Hybrid III HANS from here.
Comfy on the boys. Quality hardware. Easy to do up and undo. Stay put. Not cheap though.
Can't tell you how well they work in a crash (and hope to never have to test'em).
