I prefer to decap before tumbling. I use a Lee universal decapping die for all of my cases. That way it isn't trying to shape the case, just press out the spend primer.
Thanks. I should have clarified I'll be starting out with 9mm and 45. And I'm leaning towards getting a wet tumbler with stainless steel media. For the press it'll be a single stage.If you deprime first and then tumble it's been my experience that some of the media will lodge itself in the primer pocket which necessitates inspecting each case and poking it out.

When I bother to clean I do it dry and first. Since I don't care what the ammo looks like I often don't bother to clean. As others have mentioned if you de prime first you do have to take a quick look at each case after. Some will end up with some crud in the pocket.
