Charcoal canister, with a fuel shut off in the event of a rollover. E85 systems are very strong smelling, and can stink up a garage in a few days.

what will you be welding and how thick?
BUDGET BUDGET BUDGET?
Do you want to have a somewhat portable machine?
Do you want a water cooled machine?
I have used the following machines in order from my favorite to least favorite
Miller Dynasty 350
Miller Dynasty 200
Miller Syncrowave 350 LX
Lincoln Square Wave 175
The amperage range depends on the type of material and how thick it is. It takes a lot more amperage to weld aluminum compared to stainless.
My at home machine the Lincoln 175, retail they are around 1900 and I paid 750 for it without a torch and it was about 4 months old.
The machine at the shop is a Miller Dynasty 350 and it is by far the nicest machine, but at 10K with all the bells and whistles it is hard to justify unless you make money with it.
The best bang for the buck is the Dynasty 200 with a Coolmate cooler but it is 5K.
