Aftermarket Magazines for Mini-14

I know this question has been asked hundreds of times, so with apologies, here goes:

What is/are the best aftermarket magazines for the Mini-14? I have some pre-ban magazines, both Ruger and otherwise, but here in Taxifornia, I need some 10 rounders to avoid drawing attention at a crowded public range.

Newer Promags work well. I only have those and the Rugers. Get the steel ones, unless you want to spend time and ammo breaking in the plastic ones.

I wish.....I live in Northern Taxifornia, and we're not allowed to possess whatever we wish in the firearms arena. That's because our State government knows what's best for us; we are not considered capable of making our own decisions about such matters.

I've had problems with the last cartridge jumping out of the magazine as the bolt is closing with Promag 10 rounders. But that's all I can find around my area. I think the Promag follower is not wide enough.

I have 3 of the plastic ProMags. I had shave a protruding piece of plastic from the follower on one but other than that I've had no problems at all. I found them at a local shop for 20 bucks each.
