The ideal weight would need to be a little more than the weight of the extruder carriage due to losses in the pulley connecting the weight to the extruder carriage, but be careful. If you unload the X axis guide rails the Z axis screws, normally loaded by gravity, may not behave well and could bind or cause poor print surface quality. Next you'll have to figure out how to use a counterweight on the Y axis rails, because they are flexing too.
Instead of messing around with Rube Goldbergesque mechanisms to compensate for all this rail flexing, why not just build the thing right and reduce the flexing to inconsequential levels by using fully supported rails or linear guides?
