As to your inquiry, it honestly depends. I personally like plate carriers for the real estate; most chest rigs just can't carry as much. Granted, chest rigs are much lighter and breathe much more easily.
You don't really need to look at a belt setup unless you have a secondary or find yourself lacking real estate on your PC or chest rig.

I disagree with this statement relying on Pc real estate.
In the end look at it like this.
You’re distributing weight all around your body with your kit. Too much on one part will put stress on your body.
Example:
Belt. You put too much weight here and your back and hips will regret it over a decent time period.
PC. Too much on one side will cause that one side of your body to compensate. Same, your hips, back, knees etc.. same with a chest rig. Because there isn’t much real estate in the back unless you attach a pack harness all of your weight is forward. This will cause your lower back to work hard.
Most people set up their kits incorrectly. I se people with 74828478 mag pouches on them. That’s ridiculous. Or things like ridiculously oversized admin pouches. You don’t need that. I have 5 mag pouches with the triple mag pouch and pistol mags on the front. Double on one side and a weapon catcher in the other. Hydration on the back and. Radio that’s it.
Belt has 4 mag pouches, 2 on each side. A dump pouch, a knife, Kydex grenade holder, double smoke pouch, gadget pouch for my phone and to hold anti dog wipes also a buddy mag pouch on the back. And I have a drop leg Holster.
That’s it. This works for me because of what I use and how I roll. If I were to change anything I would get rid of the triple kangaroo pouch and just havea Triple and move pistol mags off somewhere else making it more flat for the front to get low.
