It just depends on what you are soldering. I use my butane torch when working in the car or outside. When I am at a desk or workshop I use a pencil tip with temp control. If you don't soldier much just buy a 20 to 40 watt pencil tip soldering iron. If you want to solder 10 guage wire with a pencil tip trying using some flux.
