There are many choices, but one fundamental dimension of difference is whetehr the weight is underslung, so that the center of gravity of the arm is below the plane of the arm, or "in-line". There are posts on the asylum and here as to why underslung is better, and as to why it is worse. I found the "worse" view more persuasive, as a theoretical matter. But that's not wrth much, when it's sound that counts!
For what it's worth, I got a brass modded "in-line" counterweight rb250, and it sounds great. Some have complained about an tiresome imbalance in favor of bass in the underslung weights.
Lots to read on this.
