Finally scored a harness bar for the car and now need to find a decent 5 point harness. I definitely want the cam-lock style but don't know exactly what will work best.

Are there certain sizes models that fit our cars better than others?

I also want something I can attach to the bar rather than bolt to the firewall.

I personally recommend against a five-point belt in a stock seat, unless you have a hole in the proper location in the seat for the sub strap. I prefer the six-point harness, which has a "dual sub strap". You sit on the dual sub, which then attaches to the buckle.

Some people feel that running the sub strap around the front of the seat is acceptable. I do not--I feel that having the latch twist and point into your gut is a Bad Thing.

Latch-lock tends to be cheaper than cam-lock. A bit less convenient.

Crow Enterprises makes good belts for not a ton of money.
