As to dirt/water and the likes, due to the magazine holders using friction, this would not in any way affect the drawing of magazines would it? I guess the elements might just screw around with the metal of the mags, rubber seals and/or the valves.

Juicy have you been to a game yet(With your pistol)?
The best advise I can give you is to understand how you play(or "fight", to be a little more specific and epic). By understanding how you deal with situations, you can better understand what kind of kits you need.
For example, say you are the sneaky type. Being a sneaky guy, you may have to detour around the field to flank an enemy position without being seen or heard. In the process, you may or may not encounter obstacles such as river, heavy foliage, pond, mud, or et cetera. Water will render your hop up useless, and throw off your aim. Mud will jam the mechanical components, and cause major malfunctions in your gun(Because remember, whatever object that sticks onto your magazine will also go into your gun when the gun is fired). Foreseeing these obstacles, it is wise to choose a pouch that can protect your magazines from foreign objects. These would be Velcro-ed pouches, as it can shield most outside substance from making contact with the magazine. But it will slow down your reload by a second or two having to flip up the Velcro.
Now on the other hand, if you are one of those Chris Costa assault types that tackles enemies head-on with high speed movements, you can't afford to lose even a single second on reloading. Then you would purchase friction based mag pouches. Since you will not expecting to struggle your way out of rivers and bushes, you will not need to worry about(or not as much as other situations) the magazine making contact with foreign substances. Unless you go down to prone or the similar.
In
MY experience, I have had a few occasions where I really wished I could have my mag inside my gun even a single second earlier. However I've had more times thanking my Velcro for protecting my magazine from mud and water than the former. But to remind you again, this is MY experience, you and I may not engage in a firefight the same way.
It wouldn't really be worth the money if after you purchase it, you don't make very good use of it
