I've used many had primers and the RCBS bench primer is THE best in my experience. It's quick and I can prime hundreds of cases without irritating my hands like the hand held primers do.
As you say it uses standard shell holders, though RCBS may work a little better than some because the hole in the center is slightly larger, but a few seconds with a file or grinder allow smooth operation.
I've got the RCBS hand primer that uses a spring loaded clamp instead of shell holders and it's good for short runs, but the effort of spreading the springs to insert and remove each case piles up. I've also managed to have some feed problems with this primer. My very best hand primer is the Frankford with an adjustable priming depth. I've also got two Forrester bench primers, once set up for large primers and the other for small, they work well, but are not as easy to load as the RCBS and occasionally I can flip a primer or smash one.
