Jig weight is going to depend on the depths which are fished, and if there is current. Most the jigs I use are 1/4-3/8oz.

Line weight / diameter is also a factor....ie 6# mono vs braid - got burned a couple years ago - couldn't get my 1/4oz jigs down (fishing a river) in 20-25 fow w/ Power Pro - while another guy in our party had no problem w/ 6# mono.

I generally carry ball, bladeless standup and live bait jigs, looking at other options for this season....
