Well this ought to get only slightly fewer opinions than religion or politics. It depends on what you intend to weld. If you are going to do plate 1/8 inch or thicker an a-c "buzzbox" should work just fine, up to maybe 1/2 or 3/4 inches of thickness (using multiple passes). This would cover a lot of farm machinery. 6013 (and I think 7024) rods would let you do some sheet metal work but below about 1/8 inch some form of wire feed, tig (usually is expensive) or good old gas torch works better. For he-man welding I prefer DC current and 7018 rods, but ac and 6011 will do in most cases. For steel thinner than that a wire feed of some sort would be better. Or you might consider an oxyacetylene torch setup, which would let you cut thick stuff and weld thin stuff.
