I haven't used a welder since High School, and I think it was only Freshman year, but I loved the MIG welder and we were using flux core. I have never actually used a gas shielded welder. I found the MIG with it's wire feed to be so easy because I didn't have to worry about my stick burning down and then getting another one. I was never really very good at welding. I could get metal to stick together but certainly not going to be welding very thin metal at all.
I know that my brother was FAR more into welding than I was and he always said that TIG was the ultimate form of welding but he wasn't very good with it. When the frame on his '78 CR250R Elsinore cracked he took it to school and had the best TIG welder in the school weld the cracks up for him and they looked better than the factory welds.
