As most of the damage he'll be taking from U Meph is elemental, particulary 
lightning, and you said that the other U brothers were comparatively easy I 
would have thought a T'gods might have been better. (It's what my 
Freezealot's wearing right now as it's the only decent belt I've found):

Thundergod's Vigor
War Belt

Defense: 137-159 (varies)(Base Defense: 41-52)
Required Level: 47
Required Strength: 110
Durability: 24
16 Boxes
+160-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
Adds 1-50 Lightning Damage
5% Chance To Cast Level 7 Fist Of The Heavens When Struck
+20 Lightning Absorb
10% To Maximum Lightning Resist
+20 To Strength
+20 To Vitality
+3 To Lightning Fury (Amazon Only)
+3 To Lightning Strike (Amazon Only)

Normally I equip my Freezers with Vedungo's. This'll do until I find (a 
good) one. Strikes me as a good UT runners belt.

Cheers,
