How does one choose between the two? How do you decide which one is more appropriate for your data?
I have a numeric data and I would like to discretize it using one of these. I know what they do but I have no idea which one I should pick and why.

May be of interest: http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/6753/when-to-use-equal-frequency-histograms ? Otherwise, please expain what you mean by "equal weight". In both frequency AND equal width the weight of each data point is default 1, but both approaches can be adjusted in this to assign more weight to certain points. – mlwida Jul 01 '14 at 16:28
