There is no general need to use any other welders other than 2 MIG and 1 TIG. 110v and 220v migs and a TIG. Stick welding is something that is kinda fun to do sometimes to have some laughs, but has very little practical purpose when you have a MIG and TIG.

To get back to the thread topic....I learned on a Lincoln 250 MIG and Miller 210. I teach people to start with MIG because people tend to pick it up faster and it acclimates them to the expirience of welding and sparks and intense heat. I have a lincoln 110v that is awesome as well.
