Steel is the way to go... if you need body armor then it better be the good shit. The problem with ceramic is it will begin to shatter after certain rounds hit it or well placed rounds too. Steel also doesn't hurt you as much as ceramic from the shock...
But steel/metal has more splatter, so you need a carrier that has good kev with anti fragmentation. Doesn't much matter the plate stopped the round if the splatter sends fragments flying into your jugular.

Like I said if youre in a situation where you need body armor and even worse where rounds are flying at you... I'll take that chance.
