Hi Steve,

I once collected paychecks for making things that required
the use of those welding methods.

I never tried to break something I made, but some of those
that used them were pretty good at running them into large
immovable objects at high rates of speed.

I can't answer the last two, not enough information to have
an opinion.
What is the material being joined? What do the connection
configurations look like? What are these things going to be
asked to do after we connect them? How many connections need
to be made? Are there any aesthetic concerns for the
finished part?
