Whats the best one? And is it necessary to trim necks?

Any one with carbide cutters should suffice as long as you are careful. Bottleneck cases will need to be trimmed when they approach max length so they will chamber properly.

I assume that you're talking trimming TTL and not turning the necks. If you do large lots of brass at a time, get one with a power adapter. If not, most brands do the job. I like my Lyman, but if you have a Lee press, their trimmer is a nice addition.
No i have a lyman to trim length. Was looking into turning the necks, my OCD is getting the best of me in older age, lol. But havent ever done it before so didnt know what was a good setup to get. Will be trimming 6.5,7mm,300mag, 270wsm.
For a basic K&M set up, you can go with a steel pilot in what ever caliber desired, carbide cutter, and the body for about $85 and extra pilots for whatever caliber you choose. You'll also need a tool for measuring. I use a Sharps tube micrometer in a stand. It's entry level, but I'm still at the learning stage. 'Better' tools are available, of course,
