Hi Ed, big fan of the Lee collet die. It is cheap, works REALLY well and does not require lube. It is a diamond in the rough and can be made much smoother with some polishing. Check out this link for a detailed account on how to get the best performance. Basically you are squeezing the neck against a mandrel - very little friction or wear on the case.

But I dare say everyone is going to have their favourite and I bet most of them will be different... Good luck.
