For the lightest possible weight, rimless can be a decent choice-- if the limited selection of appropriate materials works for you and your prescription. Trivex has the edge here, because it's optically superior to polycarbonate but tougher than CR39, while being significantly lighter in weight than either one. If you need higher index than these materials because your prescription is strong, then rimless might not be a good idea for you. Full-rim titanium frames are stronger and lighter than conventional metal frames. Some of the new full-rim stainless steel frames are very lightweight, especially the hingeless ones. Either kind would allow you the whole range of lens material options. Half-rim frames don't make structural demands of their lenses, but all else equal they are much flimsier than full-rim frames.
