Securing Armor to Vest?

I'm sure this topic has come up before, but I want to know the BEST way to secure my armor Rivets? Velco? what?
Never used Rivets? How to?
Thanks

I'd start by using the search button... but I think most people use velcro (sewn to the vest, and sticky-back on the armor) or they use snaps (one half glued to the back of the armor)
 
I used to have industrial velcro, but the hook died on the vest, so I replaced it with snaps.

I've tried just about every method out there over the years since I started my suit. Velcro, bolts through eyes in the vest, etc. I really like the snap method the best. Snap method as GNCgamer illustrated would be my advice ;)
