My point is. That you may fancy having several wheelsets for the same bike, or you may fancy having several bikes that you can swap wheelsets between. This impacts where you want the powermeter.
I'd like a cheapish pair of training wheels for the BMC. But I still want power measurement when using my training wheels. So I went with crank based.
In terms of weight penalty. Pretty much all the powermeters work out the same as near as has any meaning (Stages is a lighter option). Most are very accurate, and reliable. It really is just a question of where you want the meter based, and budget.
