I personally use the Hakko FX-888D this one :
https://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888d.html
Generally run it at 370C it's really quick to get to temperature from 
switch on approx 20-30 seconds.
Be careful if you do decide to get one and make sure you get a genuine 
Hakko iron as there are a lot of cheap clones around (especially on ebay).
Cheers.
Phill.
