I used to love running the dual shield on big bucket and blade jobs. Ran lots of .045 and latter went to 1/16 for things like bed liners and scraper push plates. Seldom ever ran hard wire for anything but thin sheet metal. Now days when I get around other shops, all I ever see is spools of hard wire. As far as being Mig or not, out here everything done with a squirt gun is considered mig.
For that kind of repair, I would prefer rod because of the crap in the base metal and the penetration you can get. Look to me like you did a nice job.
