Depends--- the type of shooting dictates a lot of it. Recreational shooting with Cowboy guns and hunting allows for more "attention" to single rounds, and crimp dies are a good choice
If your shooting 20,000 to 30,000 Practice rds. a year for IPSC type matches and reloading on progressives - taper crimp
The OP was talking about straight walled revolver cartridges. The lee Collet doesn't require uniform case length to do its job.
