depends on what kind of advice you want...
less weight: this means less padding. you'll feel the punches more. more realistic, as it hurts when you get hit, you can punch faster, and your gloves/hands will be smaller.. if they are smaller, you don't block your whole face and head merely by lifting your gloves up..
more weight: you'll get hurt less due to extra padding. you'll punch a bit slower (great for training, though, as you adjust to weights on your hands) and you may have unrealistic defense with the extra big gloves.. however, you'll also possibly get into more training with the fewer injuries...
at any rate, try to at least match glove weights with your opponents.. so noone has an undue advantage. there is a world of difference between 8oz and 16oz gloves..
