I use Pmags and Brownell's GI mags with the Magpul followers. If I had to pick one it would be the Brownell's.

I keep finding 20 rounders that somehow followed me home from the Army.
I always liked the 20 rounders, it wasn't like I was expecting to fight the battle of Falujah (not that anyone was at the time, but you know what I mean.) For one thing, 20 round magazines never had the reliability issues that 30 rounder do/did.

Are C-Products 30 round .223 magazines, either aluminium or steel, good quality?
I've personally had very bad experiences over the last few years with the Magpul 30 rounders. They've worn out very quickly, and I've had various feeding issues, despite the fact that I still only load to 28 rounds. These were shot in various guns, suppressed about 90% of the time.
I have had zero issues with metal magazines with Magpul followers. So, I've ended up just replacing the springs and followers in a lot of old mags, but nowadays, it's cheaper to buy a whole mag with a Magpul follower, than it is to replace the springs and followers. I've used various companies, and had zero issues with the metal mags, as long as they had Magpul followers.

Josh, how did they wear out?
I've also had problems with PMags while shooting suppressed. Suppressor crud seems to cause feed malfunctions and very stiff insertion, even when downloaded to 28. For this reason, I'm using mainly Lancer AWMs.
In my experience, the C-Products steel mags work fine, but the feed lips are super sharp and cut fingers.
