Mags, easier to plug a nail hole than patch a tube if you're in the middle of BFE.

Depends on the style of the mags. Also depends on the bike! I usually prefer spokes for the old school look or solid black fatboy style if where talking stock HD wheels. In the aftermarket world there are alot of nice wheels out there. Each style depends on the bike tho...

Good point. I originally wanted spokes but the bike my wife bought me had mags and they are starting to grow on me.

It depends on what you like. Spokes are cool but need truing every once in a while, are a pain to clean. And you have to run a tube which is a pain to change.
