From what I have heard, what ever you do to put counterweights on an A crank, you won't have the optimum. Right now, I don't remember the name of the guy who attaches shrink on weights to the crank, then puts more weight on the side of those. I think that setup would be heavier than the others and closer to ideal.
Clearly, shrink on weights will weigh more than the weld on ones because they go all the way around the crank flange without adding any more counterweight effect. I don't think we have enough information to properly answer this question.
