My favorite 10-rd mags are either the Magpul PMAG Gen M3 (linked above), or the aluminum mags made by D&H. I’ve gotten those from CDNN:

[They’re listed now as DPMS, but the pictures show a D&H floor plate and D&H’s CAGE code on the side. I’ve also bought the same mag repackaged by SIG]
The PMAG’s are made of polymer. With the aluminum mags, I like to add a Magpul ranger plate (the style for USGI Mags); it gives me a little extra something to grab on the stubby mags. They make a version for PMAG’s too, but I don’t find them as helpful — PMAG’s are flared at the bottom, and that already gives me enough purchase.
Maybe start with 3 PMAG’s, 3 D&H, and a 3-pack of ranger plates? That would get you shooting, and you could see which you prefer.
