one with temperature settings (not mandatory, depends of what you're 
about to do as most component are not very temperature sensitive) and 
30-50 W will do the trick.

Have a look at the FAQs at MOTM, usefull hints about material.

http://www.synthtech.com then MOTM/FAQ "What do I need to buy in order 
to build these kits?"

Weller rocks! ;)

Now there are also tips on thing in places like the pages around the 
ASM-1 and other big DIY pages
(sorry I don't have the relevant links handy but google will give you 
the right returns)
