Do you ride for extended periods at speeds over 25 or 30km/h? Prioritise aero.
Do you do a lot of stop-start riding (eg traffic lights), a lot of sprints, or a lot of climbing? Prioritise low weight.
Do you commute, brake heavily, or else ride with a total lack of mechanical sympathy, crashing through potholes or bouncing up kerbs? Prioritise robustness, which probably means higher weight.
Do you race? If not, prioritise aesthetics, as the performance differences are irrelevant (and you can always claim you're trying for a greater training effect).
