I've used a LOT of magazines.
USGI green follower, tan follower, and Magpul follower aluminum body. Issued, purchased, and tactically acquired.
I've used steel mags which SUCK.
I've used every polymer magazine on the market today.
I always default to the standard aluminum body USGI magazine with a Magpul follower/spring. <---This particular configuration is extremely important.
Between cost and reliability, you just can't beat them. Never had one fail in this configuration and folks who know me know that I run my equipment pretty hard.
It is very important to me that a magazine be able to withstand abuse in a conflict situation. No other magazine configuration can meet that criterion for me.
People will tell me all day long that PMags, Lancers, MFTs, ETSs and other polymer magazines are just as good as my USGI Okay Industries mags, but that is just marketing.
I have NEVER had an Okay Industries magazine with Magpul spring and follower fail on me. Never.
