If you arent going to be crawling around in the dirt then the open top are good, the bungee annoys me though and when I have used the open top I usually cut the bungee off. Right now I just use the close top, and when I want easier access to the mags I just tuck the top flap behind the mags and the mag retention is still good so no worries about mags falling out and the mags are easily accesible to get at.
IMO the only benefit to the shingles is if you want to have real estate on your vests still, since you can continue to add pouches on top of the MOLLE/PALs on the shingle pouches.
