Usually you would use both but if you're only going to get one, start with the plate carrier. In fact - look at chest rigs instead. Because we won't die if we're hit by a BB, a chest rig sometimes makes more sense and isn't as hot/stuffy as a plate carrier. Plate carriers do protect against the small pain of being hit by a BB, so decide whether you want to endure hotter experience for that protection.
I personally use a belt at all times, and I have a chest rig and PC. I use the plate carrier when I expect close range cqb, and a chest rig on longer range field play.
