DiSantis Thumb Break Holster or Gould and Goodrich Three Slot Pancake?

I have a Beretta Px4 Storm and anyone who has one will know your options are limited when it comes to holster selection. I just completed my CHL class here in Texas on Wednesday and am looking for a concealment holster. A few weeks ago I ordered a Safariland 6377 and it should have shipped yesterday. That's what they told me when I called to ask. The problem is I don't know if it will be good enough for concealed carry of my fairly large Beretta Px4. I'm a pretty big guy and tried to hide my gun using one of those crappy nylon holsters with the mag pouch swen in the front and I couldn't get it to a point where I didn't see the print. I know the gun is big but can't afford a smaller gun for now and I heard those fanny pack holsters suck so I'm thinking about either a DiSantis Thumb Break Holster or a Gould and Goodrich Three Slot Pancake. They're both about the same price but the DiSantis has a tension screw. It'll be at least a month before I get my license but as I said, it'll take a while for me to get a decent holster so I want to order one ASAP. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions or input? I was also thinking about the Fobus Evolution but not sure if the tension screw would be enough to hold the gun in the holster while I'm riding my motorcycle.

Also, is a special belt really needed for concealed carry? I've seen belts that look like every day belts but they want over $100 for them. I use a 2" wide piece of nylon webbing with a plastic snap buckle for every day use and I can make it very tight. Do I have to spend $100 for a belt just for concealed carry? And if so, why? What advantages will there be?
