Question Best general purpose welder type to purchase for body work?

I know some of you crazy cats out there have a welding rig, that allows you to replace panels and such, and there's some things I want to fab up for my FC and now my dad's FB, so what type of rig do you guys use with good results?

Oxy Acetetaline, Tig, or Jig? I'm somewhat familiar with them, so I just need a point in the right direction.. We're thinking Oxy, but we're not sure..

Thanks!

i would go with a MIG welder. they are easy to use, somewhat inexpensive depending on what you get, and when i repainted my car and did the body work i used a MIG welder and it worked really good.
