Which 45/70 die set ?

My experience is rather dated, but loaded for a 22" 1895 ~30 years ago with Lee Sizing and seating dies, Dillon powder die and funnel/expander and Redding profile crimp die on a 550. Did jacketed and lead bullets and some pretty stout loads to mimic Garret hunting cartridges.

IIRC my reason for the Redding crimp die was Lee didn't offer a Factory Crimp Die in .45-70 at that time and have never been a fan of seat and crimp in the same die.
 
Thanks, just starting out.
I will guess I want to load jacketed modern bullets.
Not seeing me using cast lead bullets.
I am wanting the proper kit from the start, without the constant upgrade cycles.
