I will soon be ordering some new mag springs for my P-89 15 round mags from Wolff. I noticed that they sell two types, one is 5% stonger than factory specs and the other is 10% stronger than factory specs. Is there an advantage/disadvantage to stronger than spec mag springs? Which would be better the 5% or the 10% stronger? Why? Many thanks,

I'd get the 10% stronger. They're better for hot loads. If you're never going to shoot hot loads, then the 5% is o.k. (The faster the slide speed, the stronger your mag springs need to be.)

I had not heard that rationale before. You learn something new everyday!

(That said, though, it seems as though you'd be better off getting a stouter recoil spring: better on the gun, and you wouldn't have to change the mag springs...)
