I would start with a MIG. its the easiest form to learn IMO. I hate arc welding (also known as stick welding), its messy, inaccurate and overall makes more of a mess than it does weld. Oxy acetylene welding is not as easy as MIG welding, but its not too hard to get the hang of. its a lot like TIG welding, but using a flame instead of a controlled arc. TIG welding is my favorite even though its the hardest. a small arc is thrown from the tip of the "torch" to the metal you're welding and creates a puddle of liquid metal. you add fill rod to the puddle as you move it along the gap that you wish to weld. it takes a lot of practice to become decent at it, but it provides the strongest, cleanest and least brittle welds.
