Doesnt make any difference, a good mig weld is as good as a strong tig weld and visa versa. You get a smaller HAZ with TIG and TIG is neater too.
Completely up to you.

Entirely up to you and what you think (and can test) will be the stronger weld.
I made my rear bones and tigged them. They're fine

If you can TIG, I'd do it that way. It looks a lot neater if done properly, and gives it all a bit more of the professional look. Not to say MIG doesn't, but I prefer the look of a nice TIG weld.
It's Tig for me every time.
IMHO it's the perfect method for small intricate fabrications.
Your almost certain of full fusion and penetration and no chance of cold lap on stop/starts.

Keep in mind the fit up on the tubes needs to be spot on with TIG. You can't have much of a gap and make it work like you can with MIG, just need to take extra time with the fit up and the welds will look sweet!
