I vote stick and only have good results using DC with 6011 and 7018 but I learned about 50 years ago. If you want wire then I recommend trying one out. You would need an expensive wire welder that can crank out the amps to do what you want. The cheaper wire welders are good for melting wire on top of metal and don't get much penetration. With a stick, you have total control over the speed and the puddle. With the wire you have to buy gas and they aren't good for welding outside in the wind. The wire feed isn't very long either compared to the leads you can have with a stick.
I know some good welders that use a wire welder (usually a Miller but some Lincolns) for a couple grand plus in their shop but they are experienced full time welders
I had my ac/dc welder that I liked stolen in a burglary at the farm 3 years ago and have had good luck with my 600 buck replacement from Harbor freight. I would rather have bought an old copper wire Lincoln or a new Miller but I had other things to buy. Good luck.
