Looks like you're bound by the capabilities of your equipment. This is where Argon or C02/Ar will keep the splatter down and help create an overall cleaner, nore controllable weld. But also remember that the variability of the welder output and feed is very important. With most inexpensive welders you have 3 - 4 general settings.

FWIW, I'd probably be going with a heavier gauge steel as well. Probably 18-20.
In my experience I've had luck concetrating more of the weld on the heavier material and washing over to the thinner.
