I have a Lee Loadmaster. It requires attention to work reliably, but if you get into a zen state with it it is fairly fast. Progressives are more suite for producing large volumes of pistol ammo, but the single stage will always have a place on your bench for rifles (I just ordered a Lee classic cast press to compliment my loadmaster). Compare and contrast the Dillion 550 and 650, both are expensive, but perhaps you get what you pay for.

I sometimes wonder if I made the right decisions myself (but then again reloading is not about turning your mind off- you have to pay attention to do it safely - The Loadmaster just makes sure you stay honest about that)

fwiw, between the Loadmaster's issues, and personal preference, I deprime/size, prime off press, then load. That adds time to the process, but works better for me.
