Records weights or pucks -heavy or light?


There is quite a variety of record weights or pucks on the market now, with a huge range of weight, from as little as 160g up to 1200g and more. I'm not confused about the wisdom of using a clamp or weight. I AM confused as to how to choose a good weight for my turntable, a Pro-ject Xperience belt drive. I already have a screw clamp, but a slip-on weighted puck is much easier and quicker to use.

Leaving aside the issue of sprung tables, where heavy pucks can be problematic due to the suspension, does anyone have wisdom re light weight pucks versus heavyweight pucks, puck material and the resonance damping of the record?
