I believe that you would do well to use plastic. They have a device called a leveler so you can level out the outlets so they will get equal flow. There can be risers that you can put on them to access them and the service the valves. Also I would recommend blocking off one of the lateral lines and periodically changing it to make the leach field last longer.
Plastic will never crumble or corrode like concrete and are easy to work with.
They blocked my link to the company that makes the baffles but just Google plastic distribution box they even have them on Amazon. Our sponsor doesn't carry them.
