The Magpul AUG mags are good to go. The only reason Magpul is making them is because they won the Australian military contract. So, the Australian military says that Magpul AUG mags are good to go. The fact that they are available on the US market is just a side effect and bonus.
My original recommendation was and still is to use the NATO stock and NATO mags. Since that is water under the bridge I will advise you thusly...
I personally use the 42rd mags almost exclusively (I have 24 of the Steyr 42rd and 3 of the MSAR (also good, see previous posts) 42rd). You can still go prone with them, they handle better, they are easier to get in and out of the gun, they don't throw the balance off like they could in a conventional weapon, and the extra capacity is nice.
If I were going to buy additional 30rd mags at this time, I would absolutely go with the Magpul AUG mags.
One thing I do not know and am curious about is whether or not the Magpul AUG mags allow the use of AR style spoons and stripper clips. I doubt it, but if so that would be a very powerful benefit (AUG mags are notoriously bereft of good stripper clip and speed loader options).
