Since he's reloading hunting rounds, I'd add a powder trickler. I set my powder measure to throw within a half grain or so of my desired weight, set it on the beam scale, then trickle the remainder in. Works well enough to load .30-06 ammo consistent enough to shoot sub-MOA.
Agree on the dial calipers.
Not a fan of C-presses, due to the potential flex inherent in the design.
I actually prefer hand-priming to priming on the press. I've done both, and find that I get more consistent primer seating using the hand press. Faster too.
From some things I have read, digital scales can be susceptible to interference from fluorescent lighting. Something to consider.
Either digital or beam scales, I'd add a set of check weights, to make sure whichever scale he has is accurate.
Unless he can foresee actually using the larger 1-1/4"x12 die capability of the Rockcrusher, an alternative might be the RCBS Reloader Special-5 Explorer Single Stage Press Kit. $279.99, Midway part no 998666. Has a trickler and comes with a digital scale, which is one thing I would add that the Rockcrusher kit doesn't have and meets Outbreak's scale preference. The frame is aluminum rather than cast iron, but it is an O-press, so shouldn't flex. He's not going to be loading massive amounts of ammo, so the aluminum should work fine. Allegedly can be upgraded to a progressive later on, just like the Rockcrusher.
