Despite people always labeling them "sibling guitars" due to the looks, they sound completely different. That always annoyed me a bit when reading about them.
Jaguars can often require more work on them to get them sounding the way you want, and they are only wired for single tone pick-ups, so as mentioned they can have a wonderful clean tone but can be tricky trying to use pedals with them.
I say go for a Jazzmaster personally and get a Jaguar down the line if you can; They're both well worth it in the long run.

Which one is the lightest. I hate heavy guitars.

Take this for what you will, I think the Jazzmaster feels lighter (to me, anyway) but due to the slightly longer neck the Jaguar is more comfortable. That's probably my preference though.
