It depends on what panels you are welding. Exterior panels would benefit from the tig welder because it has a much nicer finish.
If you are welding panel such as a floor pan, then mig will be just fine. The welds will be covered up and the finish is not as critical.
Tig welding takes more time, and more skill to have a proper finish.
The tig welder is more expensive obviously. We predominantly use a mig welder for our cars, but we also have a tig that we will use occasionally for exterior panels for a better weld.
