I have some Vietnam era 20 round aluminum mags that work perfectly though some have been re springed and followers replaced. But if the test of time matters they are good enough. I like aluminum better than plastic but have plenty of both. As for steel I have a couple and they appear to be OK. I like 20 round magazines the best for reasons already mentioned but 30's are ok also.
