Any Arca-Swiss-type plate should be OK.

I don't understand the purpose of having a level on your tripod. Either you have something in the shot that you can rotate and level to, or you don't and it doesn't need to be level, right? Enlighten me please I'm half retarded and I lack the creativity of a puddle of garbage water.

Or you have something that must be surgically level... Architecture, landscape, documentation and the various other things require serious precision. Also there are some autists out there that want this shit all the time.

You'd be surprised how accurate one bubble in a tube really is.

photographers didn't invent bubble levels
if they're good enough to be used by engineers, surveyors and carpenters, they're good enough for photography

the ones you've used might suck, but there's no real upper limit to the precision of a bubble level. machinist tools are regularly setup with levels indicating as precisely as 0.0001"/10" of slope.

My benro kh25 has one cause the ball head needs to be leveled for symetrical pan and tilts. But that applies to video, unless you want to take leveled photos in cases you won't be able to edit them later, like in film prints

On the tripod it's pretty useful, you can more efficiently do tiled panorama shots that way.

Both the mechanical and the motorized variants of this benefit from it.
