Ha! Well, you just listed the two I use, so I guess we are both watching to see what is 'hot' in the lube dept these days.

I switched over to a Redding FL sizer and when I did I started getting stuck cases. I cleaned the die and it's still happening. No issue with the lee case lube it's just not as fast and clean as the Hornady.
Redding imperial wax is pretty good stuff

if you're using one shot spray lube , be sure to follow the directions . the directions call for a short waiting period , to allow the lube to dry . I used one shot with good results on shorter cases like the 222 , or 308 . I never had much luck with longer cases , like a 7mm rem mag , or 300 wby . I'm using the RCBS lube on a pad that I roll the case through . I then wipe the lube off by using carb cleaner on a rag . not as easy as spray lube , but I haven't stuck a case since I went back to the lube pad . I've noticed the shorter cases size with less effort , more consistent shoulder bump too .

Imperial works well, but I've pretty much settled in on Froglube paste.

Lee is what I've been using. Just about out, probably going to get more.
If you will try Hornady Unique you will not go back to sprays. A little bit will do and it is good for your hands. Wipe it off with a rag and alcohol.
I changed over to 99% isopropyl alcohol mixed with liquid lanolin. Works better than anything I've used

I use imperial dry neck lune on the necks and then roll the case body in rcbs lube. Never had an issue.
