Default Gonna start loading for two rifle rounds. Questions on dies.

I have heard that there is a preferred die set for 357 sig (Dillon), as I have read that other brands haven't gotten the head spacing correct.
I was wondering if there is a preferred brand of dies for 30-06 and 30-30?
I have mostly Hornady dies for the seven pistol calibers that I load for, and they have been ok as far as I am concerned. I am not opposed to Lee, but the Lee 44 dies I have require much more force to size the magnum cases than do my Hornady 44 dies. Much more force! Strangely, the two seem almost identical as far as the 44 spl cases go. So I'm thinking that maybe I'll stay away from Lee for larger cases.

What do you say? Any one brand of dies better than most for these two calibers?

Thanks.

EDIT:
I should mention that the 30-06 is a bolt gun, a 1903A3
