Have you welded before?
They say that MIG is easier than arc but I found it to be the opposite.
It is easier to use arc outside.

Arc good for thick metal (4mm??? plus) Mig way better for thin stuff. But lots of duff types around. Look on teh mig welding forum for best advice

You will need a mig, 100amp ones are not worth it look for 150amp.
You also need to budget for a proper gas bottle and gauges as the little hobby bottles do not last and cost £££

Buy a good secondhand one. I have a murex 251, biggest available on single phase, cracking welder!
