The problem with welding is that the next crack you will get will be next to the weld and the metal will be fatigued enough to be hard to repair.The torture we put these car through can flex the body hard enough the crack and pull at the seams. Not all cars are built the same so some it matters and some it doesn't. Unibody cars tend to flex all over.
Leading the area is the best thing if you can keep from warping the panels and not have it run all over. if you know someone who knows how to lead you are ahead of the game.
I have not had one area of sealer done the way I have done it have the paint crack on the surface after 10 yrs.
