I do weight the flies for rivers but mostly just nymphs. I use the lead substitute.
Streamers I do weight, close to the eye, but more for stillwater.
I use full sink lines on rivers to put my fly in the zone, so I generally won't weight them, unless I want hook up. Full sink lines are very easy to cast...allot easier than split shot or sink tip lines.
Plus you have a chose of Density compensate or Wet Cell sinking line. Each with their own purpose.
