The cloth weight should really be selected for the intended wind range.. if you are in a generally windy area then a 1.5 oz might be the ticket. The lighter the sail the more effective it will be in lighter airs when you need a spinnaker the most. The 2.2 would just be overkill, and probably wouldn't fly well in light to moderate air.
Racers carry .5, .6, .75, 1.0, 1.5 oz chutes to match all likely wind ranges they may encounter for good reason - not just because they like to spend the money!
Don't forget to keep the sheets as lightweight as is safe to do so for the conditions.
