Whats the best durable paint to use? Krylon? Some sort of hobby model paint like for lexan rc car bodies?

Duracoat would probably be the most durable. But it is a 2 part paint, and requires an airbrush.
Krylon will work well on P-mags. Its not extremely durable, but if you keep it away from solvents, it does pretty good.
And, it is easily changed or re-applied. Here is a P-mag, and a pistol, that I painted with Krylon.
Underneath that paint job is one a bit more colorful. You can get some strange effects some times with a double layer of paint.

Man that red & white paint job had to set you back a few bucks. 
But that krylon is good stuff. Also check out rite dye for plastics.

Krylon is plenty good.
Make sure you properly degrease the mag and the paint will be on there forever.
Especially on pmags because they have tons of texture for the paint to stick to.

There is a product called "adhesion promotor" that helps the paint stick to the plastic. It comes in spray cans.
