I assign a 44-team league. During the regular season, I don't specify plate/bases. As if by magic, one umpire works the plate and another works the bases.
During the playoffs, I assign every position. Our playoffs are one and out and it's an adult league. I know which umpires I can put on the plate and I also want to spread the wealth. This last season we had 8 games in the championship portion of our season and I assigned 8 different plate umpires. I was not one of them.
