Id go with the Magpul one. It is melonited steel, while the Fortis is anodized 6061 aluminum.

I use Noveske QD endplate on all of my rifles. It works well just as Im sure most of this style do...it's just a hole in a plate after all, pretty hard to screw up!
The Noveske has a bonus that the others don't, a cool cross logo on it

Of the two you posted I would go with the Magpul since it's steel and not aluminum.

I have used the magpul and the noveske and both are good....... however I have switched all mine over to the IWC QD end plate . Good solid plate and their customer service is AWESOME. They are also a site vendor on here as well. Price is also great.

I went with the IWC end plate on my last build and it is really nice, great price as well. Larue has them. The finish is awesome, no rough edges, It is high quality and most importantly it functions well.

Have both IWC and Magpul QD;s, both are equally nice. The Damage Ind. one is very affordable, I'd pass on the Noveske as it is swagged two piece unit though I've never heard of one coming apart.

They look almost the same to me Right off the bat, the IWC is cut from a solid piece of steel and melonited. The Noveske is neither of those and costs more. Also, the IWC is minutely thicker.

I've got Noveske, IWC and Damage plates. They all work just fine. I went with aluminum from Damage for $10 recently. I trust aluminum on my rail for QD sling mounts, why wouldn't I trust it on the rear plate?

I put a Magpul ASAP on one of my pistol builds, and it's probably the stupidest thing I've ever put on an AR. It works great as a cow bell though, but I could have just bought a cowbell.
What everyone else has said, Noveske and IWC are both great products, and IWO has the added benefit of tier 1 customer service (think Geissele). I only have Noveske, but I'll replace the ASAP with an IWC when I get around to it. |

For those of you running the single slot qd positioned in the middle (ala IWC) do have any issues with the positioning of the sling qd? It seems like it might bump against the lower, castle nut, and buffer tube.
Also, rotation limited or not? And if not does my above question about clearance prevent rotation? (I have a bulk ambi qd plate that has has a QD slot on each side and am curious about the single QD slot style |

The ASAP QD is just a steel plate with a hole in it. |

The rotation limit on the iwc is a pain in the ass for me. I leave slings on. If you colapse the stock in can slightly depress the button. Not a problem with my non rotation limited ones. With the rotation limited ones if you open the stock and the swivel is not positioned correctly it pops out.
Quality product but it happens to me all the time. |

(I have a bulk ambi qd plate that has has a QD slot on each side and am curious about the single QD slot style Yes it bumps against everything. On mine, it only interferes with the stock when it is fully collapsed. I usually have mine one click out and it doesn't bother me. |

Damage Industries has a QD endplate. I recently bought 2 of them because they have a "Blemished" sale for $10 each. I figure it was worth a shot for that price. Haven't really put it to use yet, but it is made of steel and has a QD limiter.
Damage Industries QD Endplate I also have 2 Noveske endplates. I feel like they are all really the same stuff. They all work as intended. Don't think you can really go wrong with any of them. |

I honestly like my troy end plate. A sharpy fixes their trademark
I got it on a close out, so Im doubtful they even made a profit off it. |

My preference for that type of end plate is the ikickhippies version. Not only do they have an awesome name, they were the original, before everyone started copying them.
