Always; at least 1, usually 2. I feel naked without'em - like driving without a seatbelt on...
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
If wearing 5.11 pants I have three spare Mags. Two in single mag holders and one in that pocket that they put on the front of the left leg.
Usually at least 1 and a couple in my bag.

Crap... I don't even have my gun on me most of the time. I used to be a fanatical carry guy. I think I've put a belt holster on 2 times in the last year or two. I'm mostly a home body... and my pistol is on the seat of my truck when I'm out.

One magazine in case.
You guys must plan on really getting into some intense firefights with 2-3 reloads necessary. The only time I carry an extra mag is when I carry my LCP because the extra mag is so small and unobtrusive. I feel very adequately armed for any situatIon I may encounter in everyday life when carrying a g19 or g26 with no reload.
It's cliche, but one is none...
With that said, I'm guilty of most of the time only carrying a G27 and no spare mag on my body. In the truck I've got the AR, plate carrier, 4 glock mags and 4 AR mags, and med kit.
I carry three because I can comfortably do it. I'm used to carrying stuff anyway. Besides no one ever suffered because of carrying two or three spare mags. I don't know if I am going to actually need them. All I know is that if I do need them then it's going to suck. If I don't have them it's going to suck more.
I carry a shield 9mm, with one spare mag. It's really so easy to carry, and the ammo capacity of the Shield is so relatively small, that I like having the reload. Because my jobs entail me being looked at by a lot of people a lot of the time, and a lot of moving, bending, and twisting (bartender and brewer, not stripper ) carrying a smaller gun is easier for me. I just can't effectively conceal bigger guns while working without wearing a tent for a shirt. Out and about I may or may not carry a larger gun (G19 or PPQ), but FWIW I usually have an extra mag with me for those as well. Overall I EDC so much stuff on me that putting an extra mag into the mix isn't going to really affect me; so imo why not have one just in case, especially since as noted above it is a fast way to resolve a malfunction?
ETA I was thinking about this the other night while watching Hank's final episode in Breaking Bad. Who thinks he would have minded having another mag or three?
