While there have been some chest rigs that can accept a front plate (I think there was an RRV type rig, and some sort of combination of parts from Crye off the top of my head), they are not common or popular.
Most people in current days, across both civ and mil lines, choose to wear;
> A standalone, dedicated plate carrier
>A standalone, dedicated chest rig with no plates
>A slick/low profile dedicated plate carrier with either a throw-over or SWIFT-clip dedicated chest rig added on as needed.
Your best bet for a bang/buck CR is kind of going to be up to you, based on how much you need/want to carry and how much you need/want to scale it up/down.
If you are planning to wear a dedicated plate carrier a lot, and a chest rig sometimes, then your best bang is likely going to be some sort of SWIFT clip placard/chest rig that you can then attach to your carrier, or on the occasion you want to wear it by itself, put some basic shoulder straps on.
Some of the most common swift-clip platforms are anything from Velocity Systems/Mayflower, Haley, and Spiritus.
If you are planning to go sans-plates and wear a dedicated chest rig a lot, and a carrier sometimes/never, than the best bang is still either one of the Velocity/Haley full-size chest rigs (since you can still clip them to a PC at a later date if you choose), or something from ATS like the M4 rig. The pouches should also be able to fit Kywi inserts as well, which is nice.
