Looking at possibly getting a reasonable sized generator for welding with, mostly MIG but also occasionally ark welding.
Does anyone know what sort of output i should be looking for from experience?

depends on the power consumption of the welders. a 150amp mig welder would be looking at 3500w continiously if used at higher power settings. Ive not use a generator with a welder, but have recently got a 150 amp mig and using 16amp connectors for powering it as they blow 13 amp fuses on higher power settings

Buy a welder generator bigger is better! Unless you have loads of power available you may struggle to get going initially unless you manually hold the gouvner wide open on the genny at which point it may just trip out. I would speak to some one who deals with them and explain what you want to do and what spec welder you have, I wouldn't have thought this would be a cheap exercise though. A lidl/ aldi cheaply Chinese model isn't going to cut it for long if at all.
