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.

Good point. Anything is better than a stick in the eye. Especially in that situation. You have a preferred all around rifle round? I went with the 556/223 combo but, I am starting to think I need to beef up to the 308 or some such. Also went for 9mm for side arm. I know there is better stopping power but, I like the additional rounds.
