Having used both MIG and Flux core wire welders off and on over the past 25 years or so and stick welders since 1960's and TIG from time to time. I would suggest a DC output wire welder that you can run flux core in now and someday if you decide to use gas you can. All my welders today are DC out and can run on either 115 or 230 AC volts input.
My present setup after selling off all my name brand welders in preparation for a move that never came....Harbor Freight Vulcan MIG 215 (which can run flux core) and a Longevity 140 amp inverter stick welder I also have set up for TIG.
