Just finished writing these up. Tell me what you think! Any suggestions or modifications are welcome. Maybe somebody who knows more about physics than me may be able to add some more depth to them.

Heavy
The Heavy series of Weight Disk's has three different versions that were updated as newer Beyblades were released. Chronologically, the first Heavy WD to be released was Six Heavy, followed by Eight Heavy, and finally Ten Heavy. The number before the word “Heavy†on each WD represents the number of sides on each WD (ex. Eight Heavy would have eight sides, making in into an octagon shape).
As the name “Heavy†implies, the Heavy series of WDs is the heaviest available weight disk (including WDs not in the Six/Eight/Ten sided category). Due to the heavy weight and the compactness of that weight, the Heavy weight disks are often used for compact type combos for the simple reason of increased RPM. When the weight of a Beyblade is focused towards the centre (as opposed to a Wide WD where is is focused around the perimeter), it's RPM will increase. This weight is also often put to use in Defense oriented customs, with weight being the primary concern in that type. Ten Heavy is the heaviest out of all of the Heavy weight disks, and generally speaking, is chosen over Six and Eight Heavy when customizing.
Balance
The Balance series of Weight Disk's has three different versions that were updated as newer Beyblades were released. Chronologically, the first Balance WD to be released was Six Balance, followed by Eight Balance, and finally Ten Balance. The number before the word “Balance†on each WD represents the number of sides on each WD (ex. Eight Balance would have eight sides, making in into an octagon shape).
The Balance WD has a weight which is between that of Wide and Heavy WDs. It's mass is distributed well, and in theory would be used for both Defense and Endurance purposes. That being said, there is numerous other options which are better for those types, and even Balance types which also in theory would benefit from this type of WD have much better choices (such as Ten Heavy). Ten Balance is the heaviest out of all of the Balance weight disks, and generally speaking, is chosen over Six and Eight Balance when customizing.
Wide
The Wide series of Weight Disk's has three different versions that were updated as newer Beyblades were released. Chronologically, the first Wide WD to be released was Six Wide, followed by Eight Wide, and finally Ten Wide. The number before the word “Wide†on each WD represents the number of sides on each WD (ex. Eight Wide would have eight sides, making in into an octagon shape).
As the name “Wide†implies, the design of the Wide series of WDs is one of the widest weight disks available. Along with having a large diameter, the bulk of the mass on a Wide WD is visibly focused around the outside perimeter. In comparison to Ten Heavy, and even Ten Balance, it is easy to tell the difference in weight. Most often, a Wide weight disk is utilized on both Endurance customs (as well as for weak Zombie's for those who do not have access to Wide Survivor or Wide Defense). Besides it's use in Endurance customs, Wide weight disks see extensive use on Smash attackers. With the use of a Wide WD on a Smash attacker, it's overall movement range and speed will increase, which is needed to have the highest probability of knocking out the opposing Beyblade. Ten Wide is the heaviest out of all of the Wide weight disks, and generally speaking, is chosen over Six and Eight Wide when customizing.

The one I had the most difficulty with was the Balance article. I have always been under the impression that it was useless and thus have not had an extensive amount of time with it in the past.
These have obviously not been formatted for the Wiki just yet, but I will do that tomorrow. Do you guys think adding in examples of a customs where each WD is commonly used is a good idea (ex. a Smash custom with Ten Wide)? And what should these articles be named? For example, should the Heavy WD article just be titled "Heavy" since it encompasses all three types of the Heavy WD?
I will be taking pictures of each of them tomorrow.
