Any idea where to get welding o2 at the lowest cost - i.e low cylinder
rental etc

It's a cartel, and they have you over a barrel (or cylinder).
Cheapest way is to use an awful lot of it, or to borrow cylinders from
someone (scrappies / construction) who does.

If you're reduced to getting it from BOC, the gas is basically free
and you pay most for cylinder rental. Go for the biggest you can deal
with. An M (acetylene) and an X (oxygen) size will fit in a car or a
Portapak trolley, but have rather more volume than the horribly
expensive standard Portapak sets.
