i bought myself a 170amp MIG under 12 months ago - its gas/no gas so you can do either - i have a small bottle of argon mix which seems to do the trick no issues there.
i've seen arc welds done before - with arc, experience matters. i am a hopeless arc welder, but, MIGging is heaps easier in comparison and for me much neater than arc (again i am a shit arc welder namely due to lack of experience)
for 98 bucks you can't go too far wrong. i dare say spend the extra and get a GOOD helmet - one of those that goes dark when the arc is struck - they start at around $250 (how much is your eyesight worth, believe me its cheap) and learn to use the stick welder, practice practice practice basically.
i wouldn't use oxy personally as i don't like the idea of the two explosive gas bottles that come with it ; yes the MIG uses a gas bottle but the primary gas is argon is inert, just, if you have a leak, pray its in an open area (otherwise you will die from asphyixciation(sp))
if you really wanna spend some serious chaching - get yourself a TIG - awesome device.
