See here:
IMHO, any one that has a short handle so that you can more easily feel differences in pressure.
I've been using Harrell's for many years. It's simple, well built, inexpensive and its size makes for easy transport to the shooting range for when I want to make adjustment is seating depths.

What do you do with the seating force data? Do you segregate cartridges? Discard 'bad' ones? Track target POI based on seat force? Use the bad ones for sighters, then mark the cases to not be used anymore?
Just curious. When I 'feel' something different in seating I mark the cartridge and see how it performs at the range compared to others. Sometimes I see a difference, sometimes not. If the POI is off or if vel is outside 'normal' es/sd for that load, then I mark the case and note if it does the same next time. If it is 'off' twice in a row then I toss the case.

If seating force is not consistent I go back to the drawing board.. Got to be within 5lbs…
Not to discount the fine tools made by K&M or 21st century but you can achieve excellent results from a basic arbor press with Wilson in line seating dies.
The key is good case mouth prep and burnishing of the left over carbon in the neck ID used as lube.

When I started reloading back in the seventies, I used an old bottle capper until I could afford this Hart Arbor Press, have been using it ever since.
Sighters….
