the cheapest and best way I think is to go get a ITR hatch, and ITR doors, they are cheaper than have them shave professionally welds, however, if you want to go the bondo way, it might be cheaper but who knows the quality

If it will cost 100 -150 to weld them properly, why don't you get another hatch, its only 100 bucks for a Type R CW hatch, and have it repaint, I understand that you will feel its a waist of a perfect hatch, but you can always sell that one

it all depends on where you go, all places are different, all i can say is look for smaller bodyshops, they will usually do as good of work and will charge less
