The drawback of the push button is accidental magazine ejection and often having to change grip to perform the mag change.
For the heel release, I have probably changed my grip to do it, although still don't have enough time in with the R9 or the Seecamp to feel comfortable with the heel release.
The R9 has a big advantage over the Seecamp in being able to fire without the magazine in place. So one can shoot 6 shots while maintaining 1 in the chamber. If you have achieved a cover position for the magazine change and it ends up compromised you still have the ability to fire, but anything that would speed the reload process seems advantageous to me.
With the paddle release being on the trigger guard which should be covered by the holster when in the pocket and since the release is perpendicular to the draw accidental mag release shouldn't be a factor. So I don't think you lose the safety factor
