I suggest a 220v mig with Co2, modern mig welders are "welding for dumbies"... the wire is one size does all, 20ga tin to 1/4 plate very nicely, its by far the easiest and is more than capable of 3/8 or even 1/2 plate with multipul passes, add a spool gun and you can weld aluminum aswell.
A stick welder is more capable of deeper penetration in a single pass but you need to learn what rods to use for many differant applications, it is the best way to weld cast if thats a concern.
Tig is best left for the pros... it is very nice to use however... how much are you willing to pay... good tigs are not cheap... cheap tigs are not good. Everything about a tig is $$$ and it requires steady hands.... which at my age I no longer have.
FYI...Ive been a metal fabricator by trade for nearly 30 yrs, and started welding things around the farm with a stick long before that... I now supervise a 60,000sq ft fab shop... every rookie starts on the migs.
