I prefer to neck size as well primarily because I hate lubing and cleaning cases. Also in my case where I am looking for consistent 1 moa accuracy I doubt neck sizing vs full length makes a difference. And I have noticed that for one of my rifles after 3-4 firings I did have to buy a full length sizing die as well as they were getting hard to chamber. This is in a 7mm-08 so not a hot rod cartridge. I have not shot the full length sized cartridges yet but if I don't notice a change in accuracy I may just full length size for consistency rather than having to do it every 4 firings and introducing inconsistency into the mix.
For bench rest accuracy or long range shooting you might notice a difference between neck sizing and full length but your reloading practices would have to be pretty consistent and your shooting. I am certainly not at that level yet.
Cheers
