In a good all purpose leather one I look for suppleness, sturdyness and at least one, well anchored, metal ring. (a second ring, 180 degress opposite would be even better) For the locking mechanism I prefer a metal clasp, again for durability. Rounded edges make for a nicer look.

Just my $0.02.

Status: offline 		i think suspension cuffs are ideal for any type of restraint, not just suspension...the well designed ones allow the bottom to both comletely let go and fall into the cuffs without any imediate blood flow cut off and they allow the submissive to pull up on the bars that are in them...they can be made very prettily to...

With wider cuffs look for more than a single strap, near the ends.  That will keep the cuff part from curling from use.

subshop.com has a good selection and reasonable prices.  (I'm not affliated apart from being a satisfied customer.)

And yes, it has  to welded heavy d's locking roller buckle..etc......not sure about suspension styles yet. It's also stitched.
