If you want the best and pretty universal (and have some bucks) - Metcal is probably the best (I think today it is called Oki). And - it heats up in 3-5 seconds. You can use tips for about any job: from lifting pins from tiniest pitch QFP chip to solder the quarter inch rod into heavy GND plane. But - it comes with a cost.

Wise - is the next best (similar principle - cheaper version).

Weller may not have enough oomph. Although it is an old respectable name.
