I agree with the other posts. Lee is way cheaper to start with especially if you buy several die sets for different cartridges. And you will assemble ammo accurate enough for the ability if most shooters. If you get to the point of measuring neck wall thickness, concentricity, and seating a few thousandths off the lands then look into which die brand does that best.
I use basic Lee and RCBS FL dies and can get .223 and .30-06 loads in milspec barrels (certainly not target barrels) down to 5 shot 3/4" groups. I am no great shakes at target shooting so thus more than meets my needs.
Most shooters can benefit more from better shooting technique and rifle/barrel/trigger quality than from more expensive dies.
When it comes to handguns I would definitely not spend extra. If you load with a progressive then some dies like Dillon are beveled for better feeding of cases on a progressive.
