Both types have pros and cons - I've always been under the impression

That isn't really true -- at most, one or two pounds of cold air escapes and
is replaced with warm air. That has almost zero effect on the temperature
inside.

How does non-pressurized air have weight?

The same way anything else has weight. Did you really think that air weighs
nothing?

Yes. All my scales currently read "0". Yet sitting on top of
them are billions of cubic feet of air.

Let us know when you own a scale that has 5 sides in a vacuum and
just the measuring part exposed to air.
