They DO all have tradeoffs - you just have to figure out what tradeoffs you're willing to make and what aligns with your personal preferences. I have a preference for the powerblock Pro 100s, but they're expensive, bulky, and have that cage design which are all real downsides and I don't often recom

This is a nice potential setup. A few small suggestions: If you’re going with Rogue plates, I’d suggest the Echo V2 bumpers.
