I've done extensive testing against Level IV ESAPI plates and I can attest that they are quite capable of withstanding multiple strikes as Stan proved in his video. I believe most ceramic body armor components are made by CoorsTek. Most use the least expensive Aluminum Oxide version. With that said not all plates are made equal. Some use spalling others do not. Some use Kevlar backing others use Dyneema. I find the current US GI issued versions the worst.
