You can usually use the Magic one at it's target number.

If you know the Mile Javelin Throw feat, and know the Javelin ability, you can use either one, or you can use the magic to augment the mundane (but not the mundane to augment the magic).

If you know the Mile Javelin Throw feat, but don't know the Javelin ability, you can still use the feat (though it may have an improvisational penalty if you are throwing it at somene, say, only 20 yards away from you...).
