What solder to get?

Hi, gang.

Faced with a limited budget, I am realizing I need to make my own cables.

I just went to my local electronics store to buy some solder but came up empty-handed, not because they didn't have any, but because they had too much! I was confused by the different kinds available.

What type and size of solder will get most studio jobs done? I'm working with high quality snakes, switchcraft/neumann connectors, and dsub.

And as far as soldering irons go, I have a Radio Shack 40watt. Will this suffice?

Many thanks,
WJ
