Whatever expansion you have (or lack of it), the more memory chips you can equip, the better. Additional stats a lower belt might have, get overcompensated with buffs quite easily. For memory chips there's similar criteria. More NCU space they add, the better. Possible exception might be specific chips with resistance to Snares and Roots, which are useful for PvP. Chips will always equip in first Deck they were designed for, so for adding more than one you need to drag it in proper place in Wear window.

How to choose your Deck setup usually depends on character profession and how much PvP he's involved in. Most non-PvPers try to equip 6x belt as soon as possible, highest memory chips and recompiler. Those that need more buffs, yet they don't cast a lot during fights go for all Memory chips setup and such with heavy nano use can go for Nano cost reducing items.
