So my strap finally broke, and I think I may try to get a good leather strap this time around. Anyone know of a good standard strap?

Take a look at one of these.
www.comfortstrapp.com

I had tried quite a few especially for my heavier guitars and these are just about perfect. I recommend getting the guitar version in long. If your guitar is really a tank get the one made for bass in short. Works perfect with strap locks of all kinds too. They remind me of the straps that Garcia used to use a little bit. Perfect for neck heavy guitars as the padding keeps it perfectly in position.
Outside of this particular strap the Dimarzio Cliplock (seat belt style) with the clips works really well too but only if the guitar is really well balanced. I have several of these, actually could just send you one.

Pick up a comfort strapp just to have on hand however.
