Is there a perk to one or the other. I have a bunch if fiochis, however the formulas I like are for cheddite. The only concern I have about the cheddite is that they would be un crimped and I don't know if the load all is good at starting crimps.

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..

Thank you for the heads up so far I'm not too crazy about the double A's they seem to not hold up as well as I've heard I think I'm gonna put an order through to get some fiocchi primers and I'm looking forward to loading that in 12 and 16. Right now the 16 I have is older so I am trying to run lighter loads. Hopefully I will have enough for a bps soon so I can use some hotter loads. I wonder why lee has looked into making a crimper. I see some antique 16 crimpers but I have no idea if they would work
