I like the Eagle MLCS, but it has been normally a front plate carrier only. I think they are making a rear plate carrier to go on it now, a releasable carrier/vest, and some other stuff. It is very similar to the old RACK, but is better built. Their availability can be a weak point though.

Paraclete makes some good stuff as well, but it tends to be very pricey through retail outlets. They usually cut a very nice discount to military or to GSA sales, and tend to have a pretty good stock on hand.

Other than the trashy knockoffs that Blackhawk makes, those are about the only ones I have real personal experience with.

HTH.
