The only time I deprime before cleaning is when wet cleaning, and for that I have a Lee Universal depriming die screwed into the press. Wet cleaning is a rare event in the Klem household. The reason primers come out is to help dry the cases when the hair dryer goes to work. Hot air can flow through the case with holes at either end - that's the theory anyway.
For the rest of the time which is most of the time it's dry tumbling with the primers in. Then load as normal. Over years of using the same dies I have not seen any degradation in accuracy or wear of the dies from leaving the spent primers in...just saying.
