How much do you want the cushioning?
I usually go for the classic 'big boy' trainers, with ample cushioning and support (Mizuno Nirvana, Asics GT, Brooks adrenalin etc.). But I find my feet cope fine in the far lighter, and noticably lower Asics DS, and I love the faster feeling. I am more careful with my gait, in that I dont smash my bulk into my heels so much. But its not much of an adjustment, and it means my knees see zero ill effect from the reduced cushioning.
Tastes in running shoes are horribly personnal though. So that may be massively irrelevent.
