What's a good intro welder for subframe connectors?

My first DIY welding job will be sub frame connectors (US Tool) on my 64 Cuda and need to buy a welder. I have a Argon bottle that I can use if you suggest to do so. Want to spend just enough money to do this job and other sheet metal up to maybe 1/4". Should I be looking at stick, wire feed? Harbor Freight any good? Do you have a lower budget welder you are happy with? Thanks a bunch!
