Body soldering advice

So it looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of my own body work I've decided that I will avoid plastic body filler like the plague and go with body soldering/filling instead. Although I have worked the plastic stuff, I have zero experience with using metal. My question is: should I go with the leaded or the lead-free filler? I've heard that the lead-free stuff is a bit harder to work because it's harder physically, but in my mind, the ability to use power tools would mitigate that.

Anyone have any input?

Thanks
Vic
