If you are welding on the housing, attach your ground to the housing - NOT the axle flange. I've seen a lot of guys attach the ground to the axle flange because it is an easy spot to get to but doing this will ruin your bearings.
I also very much agree on going slow and allow the metal to cool to avoid warping the housing.

Just my $0.02
