.38 special

Now that I've got .45 acp and .380acp down, I would now like to learn .38 special.
The two acp calibers were quite an adventure. I learned recently the importance of the crimp. (I believe it's a taper crimp, but someone tell me if I'm wrong. I always get the roll crimp & the taper crimp confused.)

Here's my question regarding the .38 special: Would it be wise to get a factory crimp die for the .38 special as I did for the other two calibers I reload? If so, do I need a roll crimper or taper crimper?

Dad will be asking me what I want for Christmas soon. I'm channeling my gun-related wants in his direction, as this otherwise Christian man takes a peculiar, hedonistic delight in purchasing gun-related items.
