The most comfortable, concealable position is about 3:30. This is far enough back to take advantage of the natural hollow in the hip without being far enough back to print badly when you bend at the waist or to be sitting on your gun. It is also far enough back to hide the gun under an open front jacket, although some care must be taken not to let the jacket come completely away from your side.
A 10-15 degree cant angle works best for keeping the grip close to your body while still putting the grip in an easy position to grab. Any more cant than 15 degrees will exceed the point of diminishing returns.
I have had the best luck with Blade Tech holsters. I prefer soft loops over J hooks, because J hooks put the weight of the gun on the pants rather than on the belt.
Until recently I was a fan of Sidearmor holsters with their rigid belt loops. However, having recently broken two sets of rigid loops causes me to question the soundness of the design. Sidearmor was happy to charge my credit card for the replacement loops I ordered, but well past the stated time estimate for shipping, multiple telephone calls and contacts through their website contact form have gone unanswered.
