If you had to choose

You don't use honed neck dies, so how can you disagree?
Bushing dies cause more runout than a honed neck die and you base YOUR dimension on the honed neck by YOUR brass.
Anyway, I don't think you understand the concept, so I'll leave it there.
Carry on.

Cheers.
and when you get a new lot of brass the die is worthless and you have to have another die honed.
Forster says....

Forster recommends measuring the neck diameter of a loaded round and subtract .004 and have the neck honed to that diameter. And then use their expander or a expander die to bring the neck diameter up to the correct inside diameter. And this is only for one brand of brass, and the neck thickness varies between brands of brass.

If you open to other options, I HIGHLY recommend Whidden die sets. They are extremely nice and have been showing to be very accurate. Precise seating depth is a little easier as well with larger indicators on the knob.
 
Shoulder bump is excessive with the .30-06 and wondering if the improved cartridge would be better.
