I can't help you narrow your choices much, but I'll go ahead and throw out the one that I use. For, oh, a year or a year and a half, I've been using a Theis IWB: http://theisholsters.com/
I selected the horsehide/kydex hybrid that Tommy Theis makes and I've been very happy with it. I have recently been carrying in an OWB that I just got, but I've got no complaints about my Theis. Some of my pants just aren't baggy enough for IWB to be as comfortable as OWB.
For a belt, I use an Aker B21: http://www.akerleather.com/off-duty...ed-carry-gunbelt&name=Concealed+Carry+Gunbelt I needed a gunbelt that doesn't scream 'GUNBELT' and this one serves me very well.

I have a couple from this place and they are my favorite. I like them even more than the CB I have.

I have comp-tacs for most of my IWB carry needs. Minotaur is the specific one, if I recall. The leather backing makes them very comfortable and the design of the hooks allows you to tuck in a shirt (if you really want to). I never tuck in my shirt with them however. But they make my SIG 220 disappear with no problems and that isn't what most people think of when they think of a 'carry' gun.
Check out Kramer gun Leather. They use Chicago screws instead of snaps, so you can't take it on and off, without undoing your belt, but I haven't has much luck with any IWB doing that really well anyway.
As for your concerns of the gun sliding out... I think you're worrying about MOSTLY a non-issue. It's not unheard of, a guy lost his pistol in a movie theater in Oregon recently, and it was found by a couple kids on a field trip that had some Eddie the Eagle training. But that's the only story I've ever heard of a guy losing his concealed carry while carrying. Sure you get used to having it there, and eventually stop pulling your pants up every time you stand up or get out of the car... but I still have a pretty good idea that I have a several pound handgun hanging on my belt.
