Welder advice - where to start

I also don't see anything wrong with a 110 mig for around the house.
A 135 amp can do up to 1/4 inch, and I sure won't be doing anything that thick working on the cars.
The Helmet I have is this large view auto darkening with true color lens technology and adjustable darkening, sensitivity and delay setting for how long it takes to come back to clear.
It's also super light weight.

HF auto is ok but spend as much as you can with the helmet///larger lens/adjustability/ you will love yourself later!!!!!!
