Question on Laser / Water / Plasma

Hello All...

We use a lot of 2 inch 13 gauge round tube and cut the ends into a saddle notch. We have punch presses to do this notching now. What is the best type of cutting machine to do this with, Laser cutter, Hydrajet or Water cutter or Plasma? We would like this fully automated as well.

For really fancy angles, I've seen a a plasma cutter mounted > Hello All...
