I'm wanting to buy a small 110 MIG welder. I plan to do simple tack welds and not structural welds. All structural welds I'll have a welding shop do the strong stuff. Anyway, I'm looking at the welders at Harbor Freight. I found these two units.

Would these be good units to start with? If not what should I be looking for?
These discriptions say that they are able to weld with or with out gas. What advantage is there to welding with the gas? How does using gas change the welding process?
I'm kinda welding dumb so any help would be appreciated.
