Which Mig welder to buy?

That's a little harsh, it all depends on what you need. For the casual welder who's only gonna use it 3-4 times a year, a 220 is way overkill...a decent quality 110 will be fine. Obviously, if you're a pro or will need to be welding truck frames or something heavy duty that's a different story.

Well, sorry, your reasoning is wrong. 110 vs 220 has nothing to do with "how many times a year" you need it. If you are trynna weld up your snowplow, you will be sorry you bought a 120V machine. But if all you ever do is light work a 120V "rig" will do just fine. It has nothing to do with "being a pro" or whatever.

I don't use my rig NEAR as much as I used to, but I've NEVER been sorry I bought a 240v setup
