It's a fair question for someone to ask, and the only way they're going to learn is by asking.
The ryobi is nice if you're doing very light duty work that's not temperature sensitive. Think soldering speaker wires together. I wouldn't use it on a circuit board extensively, as it doesn't have that granular levels of temp control, but you could use it for larger through-hole components like resistors and whatnot. Like I said, not my first choice. I'd probably go with the Pinecil soldering iron as a starter iron for circuit board work.
The Weller gun is nice for larger, chonky wires -- like extension cord thicknesses. It's a very hot iron at 260w/200w, and has virtually no temp control. It's like taking a torch to something. And sometimes, you need that ability to dump a LOT of heat into something quickly. I wouldn't take this thing anywhere near a circuit board.

This is for large conductors and/or in open environments where wind is blowing. Those 30 and 40 watt pens would never heat both sides of the conductor at the same time, and you'd get cold joints. The tool that can do some of what this gun can, albeit in a far less controlled way, is a torch.

Thanks, anyway. Maybe go take a chill pill now, eh?
