Regarding the orientation of your spare mags... I actually have them facing opposite directions. I don't know why I do it I just do it and I've practiced over the years and that's just what works for me. I think you'll find that if you practice with whatever set up you want.. You do it enough and you're going to master it. I carry a 12 round mag of hollow points and the first one that I come to in my dual mag pouch is another mag full of hollow points and then the third one has full metal jacket rounds in it. My daughter asked me once.. Daddy why don't you have all three of them with hollow points?
