I carry 5x 95 round G36 mags and one highcap.
Pretty much any vest should do the job, if you've got an M4. Any specific color or price range?

13 x 120rnd Pmags if using M4
12 x 70rnd lowcaps if using M14
19 x 30rnd STAR mags if using AK (or 5 x 140rnd midcaps if going light)
1 x 4000rnd boxmag if using M60E4

5 x 31rnd pistol mags (except when its too cold to use a GBB)

Rarely use em all, never use more than ~400rnds before respawning (to adhere to ammo limits), have had too many bags of BB's and loaders stolen from respawn to want to keep anything there anymore and I don't want to run around with loaders in my kit as it sounds like I have 1000 rattle snakes in my backpack.

For milsim games I just load all my mags with 33rnds each and try to keep my loader quiet as I still don't want to leave it at respawn. Some people have chewed me out for carrying loaders and BB's in the field at games that specifically outlaw it (I only reload in designated areas), but unless someone is willing to pay me the $150 in lost BB's and loaders I have had stolen in the past 2 years, their staying with me.

An m4 vest will work if your high caps are the long style. You can fit 3 of those in 1 m4 pocket. If you bought a crossdraw vest you could load 3 lows in the pistol mag pockets, 5 high caps in the m4 pockets, and 1 low in the gun.
Or you could buy a molle vest and get 1 double m4 pouche, or 2 triple mp5 pouches, and 2 double pistol mag pouches and have a low in the gun. And for both set ups a dump pouche is very useful.

Myself I am using:
M4 - 5 120rd mags
MP7 - 6 50rd mags
Glock 23 - 2 21rd mags

Use low caps, they're delicious. I'm grabbing myself 10 O.D. KA M4 lowcaps(metal).
As per your request for a MP7 vest I'd suggest going with a Molle setup. You can buy how ever many mag pouches you want, perhaps MP5 pouches would hold them? I'm not sure of the dimensions of the MP7 mags.

The m4 mp5 pouches will work for the 100 rd mags but you will need pistol mags for the lowcaps.

I carry as much as my rig will allow. When I do The Wiking, I use stg44 mags for my ak47. So i carry 6 plus one in the gun.

For my russian kit, I carry 8 in the vest, and 1 in the gun.

In your specific case, I would recommend getting the 50 rounds long "low" caps and use a light MP5 vest.

10 x 50 rounders should be nice enought. Worst case, you can carry an extra highcap for backup.

Since the MP7 is not upgradeable to high FPS (usually maxed at 350 with a LOT of upgrade), you really should consider running VERY light and be able to sneak close to your enemy.

As for my load-out:

Right now:

5 x 80 rounds AUG lowcaps.
1 x adapter to use M4 mag + 1 x 180 rounds VN highcap (for backup).

Next:

2 x 500 rounds G36 Beta-C drum mags (for a bit of added realism... gotta reload sometime).

I have a CIRAS replica with fake strike plate, and I tend to overload with goodies (spare batteries, food, water+++, clothes, BBs and loader when allowed, teamate's water and food). Don't do the same mistake...
