Outdoors - in an enclosed area [little or no breeze] same
Outdoors & breezy - SMAW; E6010 root [and ensure that the root is Full-Pennetration]; remainder E7018 [better quality of weld metal than 6010]

You have all tried to answer what IMHO is a ridiculous question.
The OP has not asked whether GTAW or SMAW are the preferred options (that may be a valid question) - he has asked whether GTAW or GTAW/SMAW are the "most suitable" options.
metengr has given what I feel is the only answer applicable to the OP's question,

Low-grade SMAW rods leave porosity and are prone to slag inclusions, so they are no bargain.
