The MDT magazines are more reliable but the ARC mags are considerably shorter.
Personally I have had no issues with the ARC mags using them for a 6BR rifle over the past 1.5 years. I do not use a spacer kit with the ARC mag, which is one of the big reasons that I like them (besides the short profile). They feed well with no spacer kit because of the shorter feed lips (the round pops free earlier) and the coil spring (similar to an AR magazine, it does a better job of preventing the follower from tilting) vs the usual accordion flat spring.
I am, however, very careful to keep my magazines clean and I keep a spare magazine with me in case I drop one of them. If I drop a magazine into the dirt that mag goes back into my pack and doesn't come back out until after the match once it's been cleaned. If you get dirt or sand into the magazine it will immediately give you trouble and cause feeding problems, they need to be kept clean.
I also have a pair of MDT mags, a 12rd with a spacer and a 10rd with no spacer. My rifle (Impact Precision in an XLR chassis) did not feed 6br from the 10rd with no spacer kit, but it feeds great from the 12rd mag with a spacer kit. No complaints at all with these, they're just taller than the ARC mags that I prefer.
