I like both Cheddite and Fiocchi. Both are straight cases and you are probably aware that Ballistic Products has a dedicated Cheddite load manual. Starting crimps is not good on a load all, its just not deep enough and you wont be happy. I tried it with some multi hulls just to see and it was not good. I dont see a way to put the crown crimp starter on a load all either unless you want to destroy the mount for the regular starter. A thought to do the starting is to use a drill press with a 2x4 case jig holding the hull centered under the crown starter. Then you could just lower and raise the crown starter held in the chuck as a press to start the crimp...
In terms of case life, I think it's a dead heat. The low brass fiocchi and Cheddite both last longer than AA by far..
