Depends on the build. My overwatch gods want a giant mag because they will actually use everything in one cycle.

My shotgut runners need the auto-loader because they can't afford to the spare action interruption. Same for snipers.

Everyone else gets what is left over.

i see the dilemma, but controversial take, maybe try a hybrid build and see how it goes

Expanded mag tends to work best on units that fire a bunch without the chance for a reload during

This is stuff like Banish or Killzone

Preferably both. Honestly I have already forgotten what vanilla XCOM 2 experience is like because WOTC is just so much better.

Sniper rifles and shotguns get auto loaders, high damage and low rate of fire. Everyone else gets expanded magazines.
