I started with a Lyman "spartan" which my old man picked up many years ago but never used, by the time I started loading and shooting a lot of 9mm I found a lee 4 hole turret on sale for around a 100 bucks, which has been great. I keep the single stage on the bench, but basically only use it for cast bullet sizing. The interchangeable turrets and primer catch tube are great quality of life improvements.
Other than high volume pistol, I would load everything in batches when I just had the single stage, and I don't think overall it was that slow. And if you are just loading hunting ammo or a box of .38 here and there, I think anyone could get by fine with one.
