agron co2 mix for most stuff, straight argon for SS or aluminum with a spool gun. Get one with plenty of amps for good penetration on thick stuff, but make sure you get one that can be turned down enough to work with thin sheet metal without burning through.

ive never heard of a plasma welder a plasma torch or cutter yes but not a welder. I have a plasma that can cut up to 1" thick with no slag just a little bevel. They all do that bevel the thicker the steel the more pronounced it is.
