35mm *professional* film has the better-quality emulsion, but it
costs more. APS is consumer film, and is priced comparably to
consumer 35mm film. 35mm professional film is better film to
use, period, if you're willing to pay extra for it -- but the
original question was about how to minimize both weight and price.

(for that matter, 120 pro film is better to use than 35mm of any
grade, and a pro quality SLR will give you better pictures than
a point-and-shoot camera will... but it's pricier and heavier)
