Roll cages - seatbelt mounting?

After re-educating myself, drilling through the cage and mounting a bolt is a strong “NO GO”.

With that behind us, do you prefer:
Full width threaded bungs (welded on front and rear sides of the cage tube? (Bolt threads into the bung)

OR

Short threaded bungs that weld to the front side of the cage tube? (Bolt threads into the bung)

OR

Unthreaded tube through the cage tube welded at the front and rear of the tube? (Bolt goes through this tube and uses a nut to secure it)

OR

Weld tabs to the strategic locations on the cage and mount seatbelts using grade 8s.

Cage is a 6-point, 2” od, family style that will tie into the frame at 4 locations, possibly 6 depending on access to the frame in the front. Seats will mount to the floor, which is why I’m tying the cage to the frame so its all tied together for safety.

How are your seats mounted? Are they mounted to cage or the floor pan?

I have a Bailie family style cage and he welded gussets in the corners with a hole to bolt the seatbelts into (https://www.bailiebilt.com/cages/p/family).

I then bought drop-sash seatbelts and they sit pretty nicely across the shoulder.
