Pace, is probably the best single combo for rework soldering station there 
is, built in vacuum pump/hot air blower and temp regulated iron.  Top models 
are in the kilobuck area.  I could never afford one of those though, so I 
get by with an XYTronic for about $140, but its just a good iron, no vacuum 
or hot air stuff.  For surface mount, I use a GC tweezer iron, plugged into 
a powerstat and running on 55 to 60 volts so it doesn't overheat when I have 
70 caps to replace on each of 13 to 18 boards in a dvc-pro machine.
