Default Welding vs. Tapping vs. Roll Pin

I want to permanently attach 3/8" diameter rods to 3/8" rods end-to-end and was looking for advice on the best way to accomplish this. The methods I'm considering are welding, tapping, or use of a roll pin.

The rods will only be about 3-1/2" long, and the pieces that I want to attach are 1/2" long.

Perhaps a combination of the attachment methods mentioned for this rod extension project would be warranted.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
