IWB Straps vs Clips? Leather vs Kydex?

I'm looking around and I think I'm going to grab the Comptac MTAC.

My question is, some companies like Milt Sparks use straps instead of the plastic clips to attach the holster to the belt. Which one is more reliable? It would seem the straps would be but then you've got a somewhat obnoxious sight on the side of your belt. How sturdy are the plastic clips? I mean if I got in a physical fight with someone or was thrown down to the ground on my strong side, would they just snap letting my holster slide down into my pants leg?

Next question, is the kydex going to keep shape once I draw my weapon so I can easily holster it, or will it collapse and have me playing around? I imagine once again, that the leather might win in this scenario, keeping its shape due to its rigidity so holstering wont be an issue. As my new carry holster, I want to practice drawing and holstering.
