Default Lee FCD with oversized cast, yes or no?

I'm confused about whether or not I should use the FCD with my .358 lead bullets for .357 magnum and .38 special. I had been using it all along until I read on this or some other forum that with oversized lead bullets you should use the seating die to crimp so that you don't resize the bullet down. I started doing that but I really don't see any difference in accuracy (and I'm not that good a shooter) and it's a pain when I'm switching back and forth between loading lead and loading jacketed. I'm thinking of just going back to using the FCD for everything. What say you guys & gals?
