hmmm I have never gotten around to using a stick welder. My little Miller Cricket MIG/Wire welder has done well. Although I still prefer the Ace/Ox welder on some of the smallest items. I am however considering a TIG welder for doing aluminum.
The only real I had with the Cricket was I welding shop I brought it from kept selling me the wrong flux core wire. Once I got the right wire things have greatly improved on my welding.
