SMD Soldering

Hey everyone,
I need some input on what type of iron I need to solder SMDs. At the moment I only have a standard iron from RadioShack that can switch between 15W and 30W. However, I have heard that irons with adjustable temperatures are far superior. I've also heard little snippets about hot air irons, but I'm very unfamiliar with these. Any links to store pages for recommended products would be greatly appreciated.
