what weight tartan for my kilt

[figheadair]

Hi all
I'm looking for some more advice for my next kilt. I'm possibly considering doing dress macdonald for my next kilt. I would like to do a single width with a traditional selvedge end. It will be an 8 yarder. I like house of edgar colours in the medium weight, but I think that I want a heavy weight tartan. My question is should I just do the medium weight or I could go for custom woven by dc dalgleish having them use the same colour wool. My present kilt is 16oz macdonald of the isles ancient from marton mills.
What say the rabble custom woven or HOE medium weight???

Regards David
ps I think I'm going with Randell's of Edinburgh for the kilt maker.

Heavy weight every time and I'd go with Dalgiesh but I have to ask - what Dress MacDonald? There are so many beautiful and truly old MacDonald associated tartans why go for a c1900 invention? If you are thinking of custom weave then there would be no cost difference.
