Default oxygen tank questions

I may be getting a new torch in the somewhat near future. I am not looking to get an oxycon at this time - rather use a tank for now.
so my first question:
when dealing with oxygen to run say a mega minor....
can I use a medical oxygen tank or do I need to look at a welding oxygen tank?

next, how much oxygen consumption can be estimated for a mega minor making beads?

right now I use a hot head and have not burned through that much gas the way I am torching today. SO I cant see needing a oxycon until I retire in a few years and start torching a lot more.

I was thinking about getting like a 3 foot tall tank (80-125 cf).
I would think that would provide hours and hours of fun burning things.....
not sure what else to ask yet....
