If you're serious, you should look at duty cycles and amps etc. Then there's just handy things, like the length of the cables and hoses. Most the big ones you wont be able to run well on your standard ring main as it'll draw too much.
Machine Mart do some ok MIGs, something along the lines of a 150/151 MigMate or something.
I wouldn't bother with the gassless welders, as in the nicest way possible, they're all w@nk.
