I have a beltheld strap and it works great. It doesn't give me a wedgie, but I could see it happening under the right circumstances. It's entirely possible that my beer belly keeps everything from riding up any higher.
The main drawback is that it really requires a certain wardrobe to work properly, since you need to be wearing a belt and you need to have your shirt tucked in. I typically perform in jeans and a t-shirt and never tuck my shirt in under normal circumstances. I've tried playing with the tucked in t-shirt, which is ok, but not really my style. I tried just tucking in the back of the shirt, which looks awful. I settled on wearing an untucked flannel or a jacket over my tucked in shirt, but I tend to run pretty hot in that stuff.
At a more "classical" gig where I am already tucking in my shirt and wearing a jacket, wardrobe wouldn't be a problem, but I've never had a gig like that where I needed to stand.
I've mostly moved to a standing peg this year, but also I haven't tried to gig on it yet. I could see it being awkward to deal with, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, I suppose. I have a BG neckstrap that I use sometimes as well as a neotech harness I use for bari sax. The harness is comfortable, but the range of motion of the instrument is a little limiting, which is good and bad. The harness also doesn't fit well in my case, which is important to me.
