Question A Quick Question on Stick Welders

I finally bought myself a new Lincoln 225AC, and I have been really enjoying getting to know it.

I am currently building a new forge; all scrap steel with a Centaur fire-pot.

Just one quick question for you experienced buzz-boxers:

You've got a pile of mild steel between 1/8 and 1/4". You have ground it clean at all the joints. You can manipulate the work so that there is no overhead welding involved.

If you could pick one type rod, which would it be?

Thanks,
Don
