If it were me, I would just buy the minimum until I decided what I wanted, and get reloading. ;)
There is quite a bit to learn, and lots of information to take in. Even if you buy a simple C press, you are likely to use it for singular tasks in the future if you move on. A good set of dies will...
What bouis said about the .380 and .357 is so true. Outside of that, you are better off shooting a faster powder in .357 than a slower powder in .380.
No situation will be perfect with one powder in your selected calibers, but if it were me, I would likely try (from slowest) 231, Unique, Power...
I like to subscribe to the safer that sorry theory, but you can try resizing a percentage of the batch of cases and see if you are making much of a change. If the stuff goes through the die with ease, you may not need to resize.

I have been using Lee equipment for 20 years now, along with others. I have used most of their presses. No issues to report.

The 12 guage is a great...
Another OLY owner here without an issue.
I believe Wolf or RedBear/BrownBear can be used in moderation. The major issue is the lacquer, but I too have heard about throat wear. The lacquer is something you can see on the ammo, and not all of it is lacquer coated.
Keep a boresnake around to...
Actually, the C&S looks like a viable option. It would be nice to get a closer look to see how much material they machined out. Request more information from them.
