The most useful, by far, is the Oxy-Acetylene. With that setup you can cut, weld, braze, and heat. No other method has that versatility.
Arc welding is a general term that covers: stick, mig, and tig welding. MIG welding (Metal Inert Gas) is the cheapest to get into, easiest to use, many people swear by it, and requires no particular talent to do a fair job once setup properly. Stick welding will produce the best welds on thicker material, but requires a little more coordination. TIG welding (Tungston Inert Gas) is the most expensive to get into, requires more coordination, and is only good for thin material. It will produce the best welds on thin material or on Aluminum.
For the general hobbiest, the Oxy-Acetylene is probably the best system to get. A Mig welder will cover most of your welding needs. If you get into fabricating a stick welder will be prefered. If you do a lot of work with Aluminum or thin metals, the Tig welder is best.
