[DrewCarey82]

Read 400 bits of info conflicting eachother for dried yeast particularly saf series do I need a yeast starter or to rehydrate for a 21 litre kit and booster + specialty grain batch or am I stuffing around for the sake of it?

No need for a starter for that quantity. However, rehydration is definitely recommended - sprinkling dry yeast in allegedly kills 50% of the yeast in the packet.
Have a look at pp. 5-6 of this:

Here is another version of Tips and Tricks.
Try not to miss the point that the temperature you hydrate is "Critical" verses "god enough".
