When I tie flies, the unweighted I use black thread for the head and red thread head for the weighted (when not using a bead that is)
I can tell at a glance which are which.
It is okay to use a little weight as with some flies it helps get them down (specially bunny). Denny Rickards is very specific on how many wraps of weight help his flies with his preferred Intermediate line. I have to say, the man know what he is talking about, as it works.
As I said, I experiment with both. No wrong way, just some are better than others.
