carbide or HSS for Die's??

I know everyone says to use HSS when it comes to taps, and I know why having used both.



I went to buy a couple of dies the other day, an M12 and a few other imperial ones. I was blown away at the cost of HSS dies so came away with only one M12 carbide die.



What's the recommendation for dies... Cheap carbide or Expensive HSS?
