Chances are that there's no room for another double pole breaker or that another 30A will exceed the overall load for the main. If not, I'd run a 50A. Welders like clean current and no voltage drop. A 30A using 10 ga. with the welder having the potential of drawing 25A (average) will not perform like a 50A circuit using 8 ga.
Or so I'm told.
