Headings in Mag since all types have at least a wet compass (which reads in Mag). Many only have a wet compass for directional information.

Runways in Mag since that matches the a/c compass information.

Winds in True since the variation changes from place to place, the wind is forecast for relatively large areas. How is the forecaster supposed to know exactly what variation is appropriate for where you intend flying?
