two inch belts have worked well for us in the past. as Andy said, turning does become harder as the belt gets wider so its important to always add a bogey wheel near the center turning point of your base. this wheel should be slightly lower than the others to provide a smaller turning point for your bot. if done right you'll utilize the belts traction but lower side loads and friction while turning. good luck.
