I've really never paid much attention to specific makers, as long as they're USGI mags. Haven't really kept up with the current mfg, aside from SAInc's. Their mags seem a bit roughly finished, but otherwise servicable. Checkmate seems to have a good reputation. The old Thermold polymer M14 mags have never worked all that well for me.

I use either USGI or the Checkmate CMI (stated to be current USGI contract). Both work great.
44mag.com has regular deals on the CMI mags. I have only used 20rd mags not the 30 so can't speak to that.
