I'll prefer to use the MEU mag though; the addition of the plastic bumper would absorb some shock if you accidentally or intentionally) drop the mag as opposed to the 1911 mag with the metal plate base. If you drop the 1911 mag and the bottom plate gets bent; you might not be able to push the mag competely into the lower frame without bending the plate back to its original shape.

In terms of gas/BB capacity, though, they are exactly the same. On the flip side, 1911 mags have a lower profile, if you're into that.
I use MEU mags because I've currently got a magwell on my 1911. The plastic bumper is something I'm actually concerned I might break eventually - that being said, there are aftermarket bumpers out there for a few bucks that have markings on them. They fit the 1911 mags too, so if you get/have got a few 1911 mags and want the MEU mags with bumpers, you could always just buy the bumpers too.
