Gas less mig welders are fine, they are basically the same as a normal mig but you need to buy gas less fluxed wire, I keep saying I'd treat myself to a welder for home,but there's always something else to buy.
I would buy a normal welder, then if I wanted to I could use normal wire or fluxed (gas / no gas).
Generally, if I need to weld anything I take it into work and do it as I have access to a heavy duty mig,arc,plasma cutter and good old fashioned gas,great for silver solder and brazing etc and of course the trusty gas axe.
I would say buy the best you can afford though, I have used some cheap ones in the past and they weren't very good,less control of the feed rate as there tended to be less settings so was sometimes big steps between them, feeding too slow so click it up and then was too fast for a decent weld
