When using VisualD, debugging with Mago is more often than not more correct
than the other option.
Each time I generate a project with dub, I switch to Mago debugger.

This could be change in "dub generate", but not everyone has Mago + cv2pdb installed, and it would be cleaner to choose Mago as a default in VisualD.

What do you think?

I think mago is the way to go long term. But there are still a few things that
are missing from mago to make it the default, most obviously 64-bit support. I
would like to avoid having very different debugging experience on Win32 and
x64.
The good news is: 64-bit support for mago is being worked on.

Isn't the Visual Studio debugger preferred when compiled 64bit?

The Visual Studio debug engine is the only working engine on x64 at the moment. You'll still have to live with some C++ syntax and need a patched dmd to generate sensible debug information, e.g. with respect to inspecting class member variables.
