I will be getting some new Redding Competition Dies and will need a bushing... What material do you suggest?
Polished Steel, Titanium Nitride?
 
Ether one will do the job but the Nitride bushings last/ware longer.

I have used both the steel and Nitride coated.bushings. With thousands of rounds on each type, given a properly lubed neck, I have experienced no difference, and have never worn one out. If neck sizing without lube, the Nitride will last somewhat longer before annoying longitudinal scratches develop. This is probably the most common reason for bushing replacement, and IMO, the rational behInd Nitride coated bushings. For this reason I always use lube on the neck when neck sizing.
