you can weld it with your standard mig wire and argon mix, just the only thing is the weld will rust and partially contaminate the stainless.

"Strong" is an extremely underdefined term. Being that you're using 14ga, obviously it's not structural, and if it will be coated, Zach's recommendation will be fine. And to clarify, Zach said to use your regular 75/25 mix.
If the stainless portion will not be coated and/or this weldment will be under load, ER309 wire is your choice. It is generally the best for matching both alloys as close as possible, and has ok corrosion resistance. 75/25 here too.-Matt
