It's Ford vs Chevy for sure..

Both the 3W and DA 150's put out HUGE power for their size. The weight difference is silly to even be concerned with since most airplanes wind up needing more weight in the nose anyway.

I fly DA because of the service I've received from Dave Johnson over the years. He and his staff are a cut above IMO. I also think the DA is a better engine than the 3W but that's personal opinion and I'm sure you'll get plenty of people who will take the other side as well.

The mid-range thing is all setup. If you take the time to setup your engine.. there is no mid-range thing to worry about.
