Look for a "Sander/Polisher" style. Stay away from a "grinder", the RPM's are too high. I got an electric sander/polisher from harbor freight for around $30, on sale. Only use this type sander for removing bondo & prepping for bondo. Don't sand the entire body with it.

If the area isn't to big and you're going to do 'electric' bodywork anyway just buy a random orbital sander. Go with Porter Cable, Dewalt or Makita (5" model). These work similar to an air D/A sander. It will take a little longer to sand off the bondo, but you can use it for sanding the rest of the body.
