Cassettes get worn due to: 1) high power output, 2) cross-chaining, 3) poor maintenance. Weight doesn't really factor into the equation
too much. In theory, you should buy a cassette that matches the rest of your drive-train (ex: Shimano cassette if you're using Shimano derailleurs and shifters) because it may offer slightly better shifting performance. Avoid the absolute cheapest stuff and the most expensive stuff. Everything in the middle works and wears about the same in my experience...
