There are different designs for box blades but weight is a good comparison between the name brand manufacturers.
Beware of fancy names. I was just noticing that EA's "extreme super duty" is made of the same thickness steel as my Bush Hog medium duty box blade.
The top manufactures (Bush Hog, Woods, Landpride) generally have three levels of implements and their naming is fairly clear.
Definitely go with something slightly wider than your tractor tire width. That allows you to get to edges that otherwise wouldn't be accessible.
Also, more weight usually means that it will cut into the ground easier.
