Whatever you can get to run reliably in your setup. I think that most people prefer the metal PAM2 based mags from Recon Ord. or US Machine Gun over the Zytel mags though. Promag, of all places, is making a new polymer mag that seems like it might just be reliable...or at least have a good follower and spring that can be used in other mags.
I don't have any personal experience with any of them, but Richard Lage recommends the Recon Ordnance mags. They're not cheap - $39 for a 30 round mag.

Recon Ord's PAM2 mags work best I've seen.
US Machine Gun also has some that are generally well regarded.
Mine is Sten converted, which I love. Sten mags are easy to find and cheap. A freakin bitch to load, but built like brick shithouses.
Just throwing out another option.

look here, about halfway down page 2

recon ord
however, lage sells stainless steel feed lips to be added (glued) to the zytel mags which will solve the issue of the bolt eating the lips off the plastic mags.

The Recon Ord/PAM2 mags are pretty easy to load...with a mag loader.

Mine were hit and miss. Had a few come off, few get jammed up. If applied properly, they can work great. But if they are not installed perfectly, expect problems.

any tips for "perfect installation"?
guessing epoxy rather than superglue, etc

They've been sitting on my pile for about 5 years.
I own an M10/45. picked up conversion parts to run it in 9mm with M11 mags. Shortly thereafter, picked up a Lage Max10/45 kit. Havent' played with the 9mm stuff since.
It just seemed real hit and miss. 1 or two mags worked great. one or two worked for shit, and one had the lips snag on the bolt and rip off.
Good news for you. Be patient. Russell who was part of RPD has made new dies and has all new metal mags in the works as we speak. I saw a pre production sample yesterday . It was raw and very nice . Not sure on a time frame or price . I can find out more next week. Too bad they do not fit my sten converted mac

Will these be for the M11/9 or the M10? Nice to have some good quality mags come to market either way.

interdasting...
please elaborate
if you are new to M11s, just get the Lage Suomi upper and run drums...
Here is what I can say. I got to handle a pre production mag that was very nicely made for an m11/9 metal and about 30 rounds or so made like the original metal mags on dies that were copied from original dies. I am not sure about m-10 mags . The sad part is I am sten converted

so I can not try one out.
