Amount of midcap mags you want will also depend on your playstyle.
I have a friend who uses a tm p90 and uses mid caps with those he gets 68 rounds per a mag. He carries 4+1 mags and he finds this more then enough. Some games he'll shoot 2-3 mags only and some games he'll be down to his sidearm. He's a more of a conservative shooter and when we play together he's the man that flanks on our team.
I on the otherhand am a more aggressive player who suppresses other players while the rest of my team gets better angles. I use regular m4 mags (meaning I get anywhere from 100-140 rounds in my mags) and I often use 3-6 mags (basically twice the amount my friend uses) in the same game. I carry 6+1 with me. Mind you this is me using semi 99% of the time too but like kinesis said sometimes you simply need to shoot to cover and suppress.
Play more and try to figure out you're preferred play style. It really comes down to how often you shoot, how often you suppress and if you have friends/teammates how they play as well. But like all things take everything with a grain of salt and see what works for you. I'd say though a good start would be 4-5 mags in total.
