Some of the soldering stations are nice but the Weller dual-wattages are useful and usally have 3 or more tips. Since many makers would solder to the chassis the bigger spoon shaped tips help put some heat into the chassis area when needed. I have a few pencil types for the more intricate or tight areas but for general use the Weller dual types are hard to beat and you can pick them up quite cheaply on ebay.
