npetrie3 is an unknown quantity at this point
We just purchased a Hakko-FX888D and it is one of the best purchases made on our team. There are better versions of it but it's great for FRC teams. Extremely fast warmup times and lots of settings. Xcelite makes good wire strippers that you can set depth. I use those at work. Definitely get a good kit of ferrules and a heat gun with some heatshrink. Label your wires to make troubleshooting easier. And make clean wiring using sleepving, zip ties, and cable tie anchors from McMaster (or anywhere else).
