I'm confused, there seems to be four different sets of dies that have different part numbers but seem the same. Although it is for the 17 hornet I'm sure the same concept applies to more calibers. I want the most accurate benchrest dies, so what is the deal here? I will be wanting the seating die with the micrometer depth setting btw. Help!

They've used the same photo without any note to depict that they are not the same.

You don't really need the 3 die set unless you really feel like you want to neck size most of the time. For me, I'd get the Type S FL Die and the Micrometer Seater. Measure the neck diameter of a couple of loaded rounds at multiple points. Get bushings that are .001", .002" and .003" less than the average measurement.
 
I'm with gpat. I'd take the type s full length die, and use the standard in line wilson seater die, wilson also has the Micrometer top if you prefer it.
