I'm going to chime in here with just one thing... avoid Lee products like the plague, they constantly break, they don't work well, etc etc etc. They make some good stuff, but it's few and far between, and is usually the "extras" they do right, their dies are garbage, their presses arn't much better and tend to fracture as they are made out of cheap pot metal. I usually buy used rock chuckers whenever the opportunity presents itself, and will resell or gift them to friends and family who are thinking about getting into reloading. Despite the fact that most of these machines are older than I am, they still perform flawlessly, and if they are ever dug out of a hillside in 1000 years, with a little bit of WD40 and cleaning they can be brought back to life. For dies, I like RCBS and Redding, Hornady isn't too bad, but I don't like them (that stupid belling/seating/bullet holding thing is always in my way).
