One of the experienced Tig welders on the Welding Web swears by 312 stainless for any difficult to weld steels. Just stainless to mild steel 309 is good without the added expense.
I would buy rods from a local welding supply instead of online. Heard a few stories where the rods were thrown around and the flux was chipped off on several rods despite having fragile handle with care labeling. Radnor is a private label for Airgas and the rods likely come from overseas. A lot of welders prefer name brand stainless rods like Avesta.
