either one will do...Crimp lightly or you will bulge the shoulder and have feeding problems...The Lee crimper is hailed my many but I have not tried it.

How hard do you crimp it?
I use the Lee Factory Crimp Die and prefer it.as far as how hard i will leave that up to you. I just give it enogh to hold the bullet its a trial and error thing that you can learn.

I find the crimper in the seating die works fine, just trim all your cases to the same length. I use 35gr of H335 and a 150gr Speer, my M94 Win will put 5 shots in an 1" at 100yds with the open sights.
