If you want to take a cabin bag it's cheaper to pay for priority boarding and bring it onto the plane with you, but there are a limited number of these available per flight. If you don't get one then you won't be able to take a standard size cabin bag onto the plane but you can pay to check one in. In all cases you can take a small bag onto the plane.

Whether or not you pay for a large checked bag has no bearing on the cabin baggage allowance.

Whether you pay to reserve a seat in advance or get allocated one at check-in has no bearing on the baggage allowance.

However if you want a large checked bag, a reserved seat AND priority boarding, then it's cheaper to buy a Plus fare rather than the basic fare.

But if you want to take more than a litre of liquids and can't be arrised decanting stuff into 100ml bottles (or buying 100ml bottles) the extra couple of quid to check in your bag could be worth it.

Even if you decant it into 100ml bottles you are not allowed to take more than 1000ml in hand luggage.

1 litre per person, I've met a few people who used to decant now travelling with 1 or more priority and 1 checked-in case since the change.
