I've a clarke pro 90 myself which is fine but if you think you'll ever need to weld something thicker than a body panel, like an engine mount ( the 90 will manage it but you have to muck around with V prepping and running more than one bead), I'd reccommend going up a few notches to a 150/151 or 160.
