In my experience USGI mags will suddenly have feedlip spread that will cause an FTF at the worst possible time. I prefer PMAGs and Lancers.

I use both Pmags and Okay Industries GI mags. Never had any real problems with either one. They are both inexpensive so I buy them all the time and stack them deep.

What do I use? If I’m just going out to shoot rocks, then it is whichever I grab (mostly Al gi mags). To me that is mostly what I’m doing so price is the determining factor as to which ones I use.

If the mag is dependable and does what it was made for I use it. Material and maker doesn't matter.

I have always used Pmag until I got my hand on some Colt 20rd metals. I can say that I prefer those over the polys now

The aluminum ones don't make the noise that the plastic ones do.

I have a equal amounts of both.they all work.
I bought a s*** ton of alumn mags before the dark days, got into pmags after and have been stacking those deep too. I do typically prefer the pmag for most ARs
