George, what you do in your own shop is your business. But when you're handing out advice to others, it's best to be conservative in your recommendations. The OP may have a puny welder now, but he just might buy a 300 amp TIG welder tomorrow. If you're putting in a 50 amp outlet, it ought to be good for 50 amps.
30 amp and 50 amp double-pole circuit breakers of the same brand and type typically cost the same. And with a short run, he's only buying a few dollars worth of wire either way. There's no good reason for him to wire the circuit for 30 amps rather than 50.
