I am biased because I am BB retailer... but, I used the BB for 3 years before I started selling them. My 2 doggies and I power walk daily. We go fast! The boys lead the way like a team of horses.
The Buddy Belt does not come anywhere near the throat. No pressure is placed on the trachea, so no coughing or gagging. I think it is important that no matter which harness is used, training is still essential. If my guys go nuts pulling to chase the UPS man or squirrel, I do bring them to a halt and wait for them to calm down before we proceed.
We haven't mastered running because I can't keep up with the guys. It would probably work better with longer leashes.
Here is a video of my guys walking slowly in their BBs and pulling a bit:
