Yeah that's kinda what I thought, I have a buddy that has a miller welder but I think it's just a stick welder?

Not a damn thing wrong with stick welding so long as it's done correctly. I also prefer stick myself.

Make sure the guy doing the welding takes a few test runs on similar steel pieces to make sure his settings are dialed in correctly.

Make sure he's got the proper electrodes for what you'll be doing. If there are any "out of position" welds to be done, he'll need to use a wire rated for that.
