A less heavy tank means a heavier belt (or heavier weight pockets).
Guess which one of the options is more comfortable.
1) neutral tanks are good when you carry them as extras: One or two heavy tanks e.g. on your back, and one or more neutral ones for extended bottom time (stage cylinders) or other gasses. Common in "technical" diving.
2) neutral tanks are good if you do not need neoprene but dive in swimming suit only
3) a neutral large tank is always better than SpareAir(tm)
Tanks are never an investment but around here most will recommend steel tanks unless you are expecting a lot of hot wet fills where you would run into rust issues.
