Which Torch can cut the narrowest and most accurate cut? I know the width of cut is dependent on cutting gas pressure, but I would be pretty sure that an inverter type power source would also give narrower cuts than a transformer based source due to the higher frequency used. So in general; 1)

I helped a neighbor get his cnc plasma cutter running, he got his from Torchmate. I addition to the power supply, and torch itself, you need an opto isolated control box to turn the torch on and off, and a height adjuster that maintains the proper height based on voltage between the work and the
