homer52,
The easiest to use would be a MIG welder, it welds good but the welds are a little harder to hammer out than they are when you're using a TIG welder. A TIG welder is the best, but it is harder to use than a MIG, and requires a little more experience. The majority of the people use a MIG welder. As far as brand names go, I prefer Lincoln Electric, but Miller and others are good too. Hope this helps.
