This is one of those questions without a hard answer, but instead with different preferences and opinions which are all equally valid.
For myself, I've been reloading for 40 years, and I have come to like redding dies best. Any new die that I buy is redding, and I've been slowly converting everything over to that brand.
My die preferences in order are: (1) Redding, (2) RCBS, (3) Hornady, (4) Lyman, and (5) Lee.
Some people don't like Lee at all, but my single Lee 7.62x54R russian die, performs just fine.
One Lee piece of equipment, that I really like is their factory crimp die. It works magic for crimping thin walled cases without crumpling or deforming the case.
