The Tripp CobraMags are the "safe" choice. The Wilson and CMC mags are the more affordable choicesThose seem to be the universal "safe" choice.
An interesting side note is the origin of these magazines. The CMC mags were the original 8-rd mags from Devel and were designed by Charles Kelsey. The Wilson mags were designed in collaboration with Bill Rogers and were the first 1911 mags with a removable floorplate(which I'm reading are now going to be one and the same)
I like CheckMate's products, and have a bunch of their 1911 mags, but the one mag I won't buy from them any more is their standard tube length 8 rounder. It is a very tight squeeze putting their CMF, a spring, and 8 rounds of .45 ACP in a tube that length. In my eclectic collection of 1911 mags, there is no mag that is more difficult to seat than a standard length CheckMate 8 rounder.I have mostly changed over to 8rd CMI mags currently.

I haven't used their extended tube 8 rounder, but if I were picking an 8 rounder from CheckMate, that's what I'd choose.
I got burned on "new in the wrapper" "GI" magazines. These are being faked. The bogus ones have the spurious "30745" manufacturer code. The good ones are marked with the "1M291" code, which stands for Check-Mate Industries. If you place the good ones and the fake ones side by side, you can see the obvious differences.You can't get no better than USGIs. I've got some still in the wrapper. Work extremely well in my 1911. They're MILSPEC and do the job!!
