Ditto what everybody said with one note. If you are 12 volt, then yes, 100% agree. If you are 6 volt, I would probably go with the mag. voltage drop when cranking reduces spark in a distributor system. Not so with a magneto.
I personally like magnetos, but I am not suping up any of my tractors. No matter what condition the battery is, the mag starts. period.
For higher performance setups (ie. a pulling beast), and the 12V systems, I would absolutely agree on the distributor. When it is 10 degrees outside, your mag is the better starter.
So, decide which better fits what you intend to do with the tractor when done. General work or show, mag. Pulling or full blown work horse, distributor. As always, IMHO.
