Hi Marting,
Laser technology is advancing on a daily basis and it is impossible to say what is best so the deciding factor is probably what you can afford to spend. A 40 Watt C02 laser although bulky is still cheaper than a 40 Watt diode or fiber laser but prices of the high end products are continually falling. All I can suggest is that you Google lasers and gain as much info as you can on the latest products.
If it’s any help, my laser adventures with lasers (including where parts were purchased) is here; http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,12444.0.html
