Looking for advice on buying a case trimmer.

So what your saying is to get 3 collets, one each for .308, 7mm-08, and 30-06, set the trim length for each, and use lock rings to set the trim length, and lock the setting? Gets kind of pricey since it's $38 per case holder.

You can do lots of brass in no time on a Giraud so most of the time it sits in the closet – expensive machine to just sit around. The limiting factor is how much wear and tear you fingers can take while using the trimmer. With a good fitting pair of leather gloves, I did 2300 cases in a few hours.
Four of us split the cost of the machine and purchased our own cutter heads and collets. Each person can change out cutter heads and collets without losing his settings. Not so pricey that way.
I prep all my brass and use the trimmer 3 days in the winter to do about 3K .223 brass and about 3K of .30-06 brass. The rest of the time it’s at one of the other guy’s.
