I have a few torches, and use whatever is handy, Smith, Victor, Meco, pistol torch, etc. It may depend on what needs to be welded- mild steel, 4130, stainless, copper, aluminum sheet or castings, bronze, cast iron etc etc. A few weeks ago a workshop attendee brought in his father's old Swiss torch from back in his tool and diemaking days - 1910-1960. I rebuilt it after class that night and we used it for the next three days. It welded aluminum sheet pretty well, though I have no idea who made that torch. It has a number "192" on it but no other I.D.

(All hose fittings are size A, the small aviation-size welding torch fitting.) P1160763_iron.jpg Large-ish torch weld on cast iron.
