It all depends on how far you've got to go with them.
I've got a couple of sets - in some cases (Ha!) it is easier to hydro form, in others it is less of a pain just to fireform either with a projectile, or with a load of cornmeal or the like.
The thicker the case walls - the harder you are going to be pounding on the hydro die plunger. Once you get into the WSMish case wall thicknesses - over .015" it becomes more than a bit ponderous.

I have never owned a set but when I lived in NV a neighbor used them to form all his wilcats.
I much prefer shooting to sitting at the reloading bench, so I was biased from the start and never developed a liking for them. I could run maybe 50 or so cases before I got fed up with partial forms or bent the plunger or sprung a leak or whatever else.
