i will stop short of telling you what I have got then saying that is the best. I started with a Lee and it was fine, always little things to add to the so called "kits" and I would put some thought into that. In terms of books I used the "ABC's of Reloading" book that I bought of Amazon. I don't know if it is the best as it is the only one I bought for showing me how to set up reload etc. You will need other books for loads and bullets though. I have about 3 or 4 of those types. You can download the ADI book from the net for free.
Nowadays the old youtube cheesy home made movies do give you a lot of information as well so they are worth a look at to get the basics in your head. BTW I just saw the LEE Anniversary kit for sale on Clayton's Firearms for $175 you cant purchase online though.
So my advise read the book watch some youtube movies get the basics in your head then work out what equipment you may want to buy. I remember when I first bought my gear I had no idea of what extras I would need e.g reloading blocks, primer seater (handheld) scales case prep.
