TIG welding is usually reserved for very precise welding or where the highest quality of weld is necessary. Often it is much easier or quicker to MIG weld or stick weld. Personal preference is a factor.
Most find that MIG welding is the preferred method of welding since it’s fast and easy.
Some welders also prefer stick welding as it’s more portable and better for field repairs on dirty or rusty material. Stick welding is also very versatile as you can easily weld steel, stainless steel, and cast materials with a quick change of the electrode.
