Last one did well, so let’s try again.

What's the best budget plate carrier/armor setup?
HESCO 4401's for the plates. If you are talking absolute budget carrier I'm going to go ahead and say it: Condor. As much as people want to call their stuff airshit, it's actually improved quality wise. If you want something that's not made in China the Slickster is solid option between $$$ and what you get.
This is the way. But I would skip the condor and go slickster for comfort.
If you can find it in stock....
The cheapest one I see on Amazon is called the Gfire and looks a lot like the old Condor. I'm sure it wouldn't hold up in the sandbox for 6 months, but has something like padded shoulders and should hold up fine for larping in the basement...or in case peaceful protests break out in your neighborhood for a couple nights.
But there's a reason why my slickster has Level III lightweight PE plates now instead of ceramics.
