Here is as objective a take on it as I can come up with:
No one mag is "ideal." The Wilson mags have plastic followers that can wear out, but arguably the strongest mag bodies out there. And the solid follower does have the advantage that it doesn't slip & slide around the mag body. CMC PowerMag 8's have stronger springs, but the flat follower can slide around, and they arguably don't have the long-term durability track record of the Wilsons (not counting the follower of course). MecGar magazines have a flat follower design, but the shape of it keeps it from sliding around the mag body as easily as the "shooting star" follower in all the CMC mags. If you only want 7 rounds, the Metalform round-top follower is probably the best there is, it has the advantages of the Wilson follower except that it is made of steel, not plastic. But both the Mec-Gar and the Metalform mag bodies seem flimsier than the Wilson or PowerMags.
If you were crazy enough to try to build a "perfect" mag, I'd guess that the way to go would be to take a Wilson mag body, a CMC PowerMag-8 spring, a Mec-Gar follower and a Wilson low-profile steel base pad. You'd have the strongest spring for an 8 rounder, the toughest mag body, a metal follower that wouldn't slide around, and a base pad that won't break like the standard plastic ones. For a 7 rounder, do the same thing but use a Wolff XP 7-round spring and a round Metalform follower.
Go for it, I'm just going to use Wilsons.
