as for best mag, i really enjoyed the early issues of Flight Journal, a bimonthly devoted to warbirds. Jeff Ethell had some awesome stories describing exactly what it was like to fly a P-51, P-40, P-38. sadly, he died in a P-38 crash not long after. the mag has now become a place for vets to write in their old war stories. still kinda interesting, but i wish they had more of the first person stuff.
AOPA is probably the best all-around. although i thought it was amusing when they had an issue where a bunch of editors gave their experiences with tailwheel flying. most seemed terrified by their experiences.
Richard Collins recently said he's spent something like $2 million flying that 210 over the last 20 years. jeez, $100k/year? are we ever going to see an article about Joe Blow and his 172 and what that really costs?
