The reason I used to wear my IWB holsters at 4:00 was because they "printed" less in that position. 3:00 was by far more comfortable for me, but the bulge was much more noticeable.
Then I realized that concealment was not that big of an issue. Most people won't notice even a huge gun bulge, and even if they do, it isn't usually a problem. So I started carrying OWB with an un-tucked shirt over the top. And I haven't had a single comment or stare since I started doing this about 9 months ago. I will also OC when I am wearing a dress shirt and don't feel like looking like a slob by un-tucking it.
My advice would be to start with OWB and a cover garment if comfort is a concern. If you, personally, have an issue with negative reactions, or whatever, then get an IWB holster.
When I have to dress up and wear a suit and tie, I may do IWB at 3:30, but 98% of the time is OWB. I prefer a slimmer IWB (Garrett Industries or all Kydex). I don't like the bulk of the crossbreed type holsters. I also, am not into getting pants 1 or 2 sizes too large.
