Unless you have a gun with a rediculously tight mag-well (T97) I would be going P-mag. More durable, lighter, better feeding, and not as cold to the touch during winter.
Gen 3 PMAGs works absolutely fine in my Gen 2 T97

It's still touch-and-go. Some T97 are fine some are not. Count yourself as a lucky one.

Never heard of that, and unfortunately we are not able to even experience such an issue due to our mag restrictions.
I could see that being the issue with some of the lower grade polymer mags but not with Magpul products. Magpul mags have even adopted by the US military after extensive testing to prove durability to the polymer mag skeptics. If you're worried, use the dust cover.

most gi mags are aluminum not steel, and are prone to denting on the body or bending at the lips due to a variety of circumstances, the pmags don't really do that, if forced past a certain point they would just break. For practical purposes both are strong, but once damaged the mag body of the metal mag must be replaced, and due to the production process the variation between pmags than metal mags. Certain guns like the FS2000 will not accept pmags without modifications. For those few guns a metal mag is the only option, otherwise the pmag is the superior option.
I've got aluminum, poly, and steel mags, steel are my favorite. That being said, I can see how supplying an army with polymer mags is the superior choice. My Pmags are more robust than the polymer, Troy mags I've got, for what its worth.

I guess I should have clarified when i said pmags i was specifically talking about the magpul units, I have had good luck with hexmags in the past as well but have no clue about their viability. My personal favourites are the Lancer AWM, I'm very pleased with the couple I have.
I've never even handled a hexmag. E-lander steel mags are the cream of my mag crop. Idk where to buy 'em, nor do I know how they "rate" on the scale of everyone else's opinion lol.

elander is an israeli brand if I'm not mistaken, so you should be able to get them from zahal.
