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.

I've read the the MEU mag should theoretically have a higher gas capacity due to the different metal used for the gas chamber....or something about the durability of the metal for MEU is better than the 1911 so TM designed the MEU mag with a slightly larger gas capacity.
I've got 2 slightly broken plastic bumpers for my mags already. They generally break where the pins hold the bumper to the metal mag base thats covered by the bumper itself. The circular cut out on the plastic bumper for the pins will split towards one of the sides of the bumper. The bumper still holds onto the mag though.
DYTAC makes the bumper replacement with the Wilson Combat markings on it (in tan and black). Does anyone know if the DYTAC mag bases are more durable so that drop mag changes would be okay (on carpet or earth, not concrete
)?
Also, I don't think the DYTAC bumpers fit the 1911 mags, the base is designed differently. There IS a company that makes bumpers for 1911 mags in Japan but I don't have the link with me and it's not one of the 'major' brands out there in the aftermarkets....market
