Body armor should be incorporated into it, saving yourseves from a separate vest. Unless you are dedicated to specific missions, go with Fusby's suggestion of making it modular. That way you can tailor it to meet your needs.
I dislike velcro. "Riiiipppp!" Don't care for those fasteners (like on the M16 ammo pouch) since they require more dexterity to use - something which declines with stress. Snaps for me since gross motor functions are easier to perform.
