It depends on your goal. If you are trying to tone, try a light to medium weight and do a lot of reps (like 10-12) and do 3-4 sets of those.
If you are trying to bulk up a bit, try a heavy weight and do a few reps (6-8) and only 2-3 sets of those.

Do more sets/reps of a lower weight for definition and endurance, and fewer reps/sets of a higher weight for more strength.

it depends what you want. Lower weight/more reps will help tone your muscles. Higher weight/fewer reps will help increase strength and the size of your muscles.
Don't forget to add cardio and nutrition.

that depends on how much the weight is and what kind of workout your doing.
