I own two MIGs, a TIG and a Plasma Cutter - all from Miller. I would recommend you get started with a MIG machine. This will handle most of the projects that you will want to do (even some aluminum work if you fit the machine with a spool gun). MIG is much easier to master than TIG welding, is easy and fast to setup, and produces good looking results. A MIG machine will handle exhaust work include Stainless Steel tubing just fine. Miller has created some simple MIG machines for home/hobby use and I would recommend you take a look at those. I'd suggest a machine like the Millermatic 180 or 211 with Autoset. BTW, these units can also accomodate a spool gun if you want to do aluminum work in the future.
