Shotgun reloading kit or Rifle reloading kit for Christmas?

My family has decided to give me a reloading kit for Christmas, but I'm not sure if I want to ask for a rifle reloaded or shotgun reloader? If shotgun, it would be specifically for turkey shells. I deer and elk hunt, but usually only for meat. I have an AR 15 I shoot from time to time, so I may reload some bulk .223s. I would take much gratification in killing a turkey with my own hand loads instead of buying nitros every year, and could give some away to my turkey hunting buddies for Christmas presents in the future. So my question is, which one would make more sense? Both would get used about the same. And which reloader would u get? There is a Lees deluxe that is on sale at cabelas for $149, but I don't want to spend $150 if its better to spend a little more and get a nicer kit. Also, I have no idea where to even start for reloading 3 1/2" shells, much less what to buy. I also have a nice 28 ga over under I would reload shells for as well ( if possible?). I'm not sure if you can buy different kits for different gauges. I've googled, but can't really find what I'm asking for. Thanks everyone!! Have a great Thanksgiving!!!!!

Well I use the lee 4 hole turret press. It works great for me. For shotgun I bought the lee load-all, I bought it new for $40 and its loaded probably 100 3" turkey loads and a lot of 2.75 small game loads. There is a bunch of better presses put there but when I wanted to start loading shotgun,I  didn't want to spend a fortune on something I didn't know if I was gonna like to do. But the little loadallhas done everything I wanted it to do.
