stainless steel
It depends on what you are welding. If you are doing welding on mild steel go with MIG welding; if it is aluminum or stainless steel then use TIG welding. TIG welding gives a nice looking finish. If you just want to get a decent look, then MIG is preferable and easy.
mild steel is heavier
Many stainless steels are stronger than mild steel. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant to many different environments where mild steel is not.
No, mild steel is low carbon steel with no other alloys.
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.

steel it self means the carbon percentage and according to which we have to specify them. mild steel contain low C% nearly 0.3-0.6% is called mild steel. stainless steel having higher C%&Cr is added to not corde

Welding smoke is typically loaded with metal fumes. If you are welding mild steel, the fumes are not that bad because iron is not particularly toxic. Welding chrome or stainless steel can release some fairly dangerous fumes such as nickel and hexavalent chromium. Using an appropriate respirator or getting sufficient ventilation can provide protection.
