mig is in general the most used type of welding for diy welders. If you are going to learn mig then only do it with shielding gas. Flux core (gasless) is retarded, and will not leave a nice weld and will not be structural.

You can find a decent miller 110v mig at home depot or other welding stores. The nice thing about a 110v is that it is portable, can plug in anywhere, and is stable and easy to weld on really thin metal.

5 years ago I bought a miller 110v mig welder with the gas attachment for $400 from home depot. It is still working strong and has been used heavily.
