I don't know that I would use a Belgian, just like I wouldn't use a Grand Cru Bourdeaux for cooking. Belgians are great beers, but a lot of their wonderful, subtle flavors will be lost in the cooking proccess. Though you don't want to use crap beer or wine in cooking, I feel it is not neccessary to use the "top shelf" stuff either.
