I have both. My PC is about 25lbs (Spartan AR500 armor with side plates). It's what I would wear for sure around the house in a WROL situation or where I am almost certain to have contact with bad guys.
Then again in a bug out situation or patrolling situation over looooong distances (I occasionally do 15+ mile hikes with a heavy pack in rough terrain) that PC is going to get really heavy. So would a chest rig be the better option in that scenario?
It's good to have options depending on the scenario, bow do you decide which option you wear?
If it weren't for the weight, I'd prefer something that stops bullets, but at the same time, weight is a consideration over long distances with a heavy pack.
