Like the sporran issue, I'll put beltloops in the "optional" category.

I usually just use my beltloops for my sporran straps. I usually put the belt over top of the loops. If I try to put both through the straps it is a bit of a tight fit and it causes one to press uncomfortable into my back. I'm not sure why I chose to put the straps into the loops instead of the belt though.
