Re: Thumb break or not on OWB leather holster?

To date, I've only carried IWB in a Crossbreed, so this shift to OWB leather will be something new for me. I'm not going to go cheap on this holster, so I want to make sure I do it right.

So here's my question - should I opt for a thumb break or not on the holster? I will continue to carry concealed most of the time, but on occasion I might open carry (I'd assume a 95:5 ratio or more of CC to OC).

I welcome your opinions on this (and recommendations if you have any).
My original holster for CC had a thumb break. Although I loved it, it really stuck out and was not good for CC.
