Gun doctor tag isn't necessarily a sign of competence, its just a sign that an admin thinks you're good enough to swap parts. There are a lot of really good techs that don't have the tag (obviously).

As for soldering, I use 60/40 Pb/Sn solder. I've tried lead free stuff and its fine for basic soldering up to 16 AWG, but when you want to quickly cover the entire soldering surface of a deans connector, soldering the inside of a motor connector, soldering MOSFETs together, or soldering bigass batteries with 10 AWG wiring, you need something that melts more easily. I sometimes have to use a bigass 240W soldering iron on 10 AWG wiring, and unless I use lead solder I still have trouble doing a nice, clean job.
