I purchased a Kramer HorseHide "Belt Scabbard" for my K9 a couple of years ago, for the 1.25" belt I wear with my dress pants and suit pants. I love this holster! It is thin and light (but still stiff) and has a perfect (for me) cant for the 9:00 position I wear it. It doesn't have a thumb break, though, and I prefer a thumb break.
A few months after I purchased the above holster, I learned that Kramer will make a thumb break by special order--so I special-ordered a Scabbard with thumb break for my Sig Sauer M11-A1. I much prefer my (more substantial) lined Mitch Rosen thumb break pancake holster for my M11-A1, though. I prefer its (steeper) rake for the (larger) M11-A1, and I prefer its much more stout construction for the heavier M11-A1 (especially when configured as 357SIG, which is my usual configuration for it).

Many prefer a thumb break and of course I have no issue with it. Myself I always figured a thumb break was a fix to secure a poorly fitting holster. (Would not be the case with Kramer or Mitch Rosen) I always hated duty holsters as you had to hit 3 buttons, rub your head and pat your belly to get the dang gun out. I'd prefer a spring in the bottom that detects when I need the gun and it meets my hand halfway.
Of course, the exception to this mind set would be if one open carried, which I never ever do. When it's out there for the bad guys to see, I want it locked down and hard to grab. Also why I wear a little bowie on my left side. I call it my get off me knife. Grab my gun, they get the knife, gotta hurt ya know.

I really like ballistic nylon OWB pancake holsters worn cross-draw.
Really don't like a thumb break or other retention stuff.
I never open carry and am not LE.
So I don't anticipate rolling on the ground or chasing someone with my gun.
Prefer simple quick draw access with a good fitting holster/belt

I always used a thumb break holster when riding my motorcycle as a way to keep it from flying out on the road.
