I'm sure I'll get a number of different recommendations,

but which Hakko soldering station do you like?

I use a Hakko 936 that suits me to a tee.

 

I also have a Hakko 808 desoldering tool, which is very useful when you need it.

I use a Hakko 808 for desoldering, and a Weller WS-80 computer-controlled unit for soldering.  Each is nearly ideal (for my uses) for the particular application. I like the dial-up heat and extraordinarily fast response of the Weller soldering pencil.  Less than 30 seconds from cold to 700 degrees.

For really serious soldering where a LOT of heat is needed, I have a Weller 120-watt iron - the type with a 1/2" diameter, 3" long solid copper tip.   That last one only gets used once a year or so,  but it's a bit like a parachute - when you need it, absolutely nothing else will do.

936 works great and is relatively inexpensive.

I have the FP-102 and it has been a great station. I also have an 808 that is indespensible for desoldering. Very happy with the Hakko stuff.
