I'd say start right out with a mig welder set up for solid wire & argon/CO2
mix.  Most will also handle flux core wire if you want to do some slightly
heavier duty (and messier) work.  I have a Miller 130, a 115V unit (which makes
it more portable), much higher quality than the consumer-grade units you find
at the large chainstores.  I love it!
