 Steve, just get aviator's. Welder'sis fine but it has been used with acetalene 
torches, and while the tanks are vacuumed, you may get more peace of mind with 
aviators, and it is dirt cheap anyway.

 Out of curiosity, who is the dumb fuck who told you to get medical oxygen, and 
why are you not getting it in the giant bottles that they rent? If you are 
trying to get a medical bottle filled for a first aid kit or somethingk and you 
do not want to buy the adaptor to fill it , just take it to a drugstore- they 
will fill it for that purpose.
