The roof is going to be stronger with the rain gutter removed if you do it right !
Original the roof is spot welded 1 inch a part if you seam weld it its going to be stronger! but you have to now what you are doing, Weld it good and not grind the weld to much! On rally cars all spot welds are seam welded and it make a very big difference in stiffness. The small strip you cut off has no positive effect on the roof strength to begin with because the bigger part of it is on the outside of the spot welds. I recommend to tig weld it because the weld is tougher than mig weld and it is easier to get a good bonding. And if the car is in an accident the weld will not crack!
The only negative thing with tig welding the roof is heat you have to be very careful.
