I really can't compare as all I have is 2 MECs (shotgun) one turret, and a progressive, I use the single for hunting loads and the progressive for volume (clays). I use Lees the same way, and have had no trouble. I really don't do a lot of volume, which will change when I get my 995 load worked up, I plan to wear it out then send it back for a free rebuild, at that point I may try my brother in-laws Hornady progressive then consider what I want to do.
Sadly, I think it may come down to, What can you get? I haven't looked for hardware, but I hear it is getting scarce, as the componants, primers mostly are just not there.

I really like my Rock Chucker.

I highly suggest not starting with a Lee1000. I have one, and its tough to work. You miss a primer and the whole thing falls apart. Powder in yourgear, powder everywhere.
