I'll add a note here to the right-handed players that want to install an ambi mag catch for the sake of looking authentic. They're a pain in the ass.

I have one installed on my M15 rifle and I used the gun in a game on the weekend. Once you've got your vest all loaded with mags, hanging the gun on you with a sling, you mag catch will constantly get pushed in if you rub the gun against your mag pouches, causing your mag to drop out of your gun. I had this happen 3 times over the course of a day. Luckily, when actively playing in the field, I have both hands on the rifle and holding it away from my body, so it's not really an issue. But it could conceivably happen.

So yeah, that's my take on it. If you want the gun to look authentic, then the ambi catch is mandatory. However, if you want practicality over cosmetics and you're right handed, it may not be the best choice. If you're left-handed, then it's not a problem at all.
