The Lee Classic Turret seems to be the best bang for the buck in turret presses. You can use it as a single stage or a progressive turret. It won't produce as much ammo as a progressive press will but once you get comfortable with the Lee you can produce 1 to 200 rounds per hour. You still will pull the handle the same number of times per round as a single stage press.
A full progressive press loads one round everytime the handle is pulled starting when you have all stations filled. You can produce at least twice as many rounds per hour compared to a turret press. They are also more complicated than either a single stage or turret press is.
Most reloaders started with either a single stage or turret press. Most people still use a single stage or turret press years later. The people with progressive presses mostly fall into 2 catagories. They load a lot of ammo on a fairly regular basis or they don't want to spend much time loading the ammo they do make. There are a few that might fall into a third catagory. Those that need to have the most expensive machine you can get as a status simbol.
Getting a press that serves your needs, really is the only important thing.
