Definately use the shielding gas. Makes for a much cleaner job and better welds, I think. After welding both ways, gas and no gas, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Gas is much better, cleaner better looking welds. MIG (Metal Inert Gas). Flux core is just a material surrounding the wire for protection during the welding process.
