I am looking at some 2% Lanthanated tungsten. I see prices really vary. Are some better than others given all are 2% Lanthanated?

The tungsten made in Germany is supposed to be the best, from what I've gathered, not my personal experience since I haven't bought any though.
Are you welding with an inverter or transformer?

2% Lan by CK runs good on inverter, IMHO

I buy my 2% lanthanated tungsten, and support Jody. You know the guy that makes this forum possible?
