Litterally, both are right, similar meaning, which equivalence in English is "Do you understand?"

 

But "ming bai" is a little bit better. Because "dong ma?" sounds like you might doubt if his/her knowledge's eough.

 

In that case, I may give the comparison in this way(Only my understanding):

ni ming bai ma = have you got it?

ni dong ma = Do you understand?

you can say ni mingbai ma, it is more polite when you say ni dongma, it has a little angry.
