arc welder (stick) will work just fine- the mig/tig units gives you a broader range of use and ease. Arc welders are very affordable now-a-days, but you'll need to have a broad range of rods (types & thickness) on hand. A spool of wire (12lbs) is about the same price as 1 box of rods and will weld for atleast twice as long- I think a welder is one of those tools that needs to be good quality. I use mine almost daily!!
