Default Sabots vs. Barrel Rate of Twist?

This has probably been asked and answered many times here, but I can't find anything on it. Questions: Do you think lighter weight bullets would stabilize better in a slower twist 1:48"barrel than a heavier weight bullet, or vice versa.What do you guys get the best results from when shooting saboted bullets. Bulletweightscompared to your rifle's rate of twist? Or does the bullet weightseem to make any difference? The reason I ask this is, if I for example go out with a 1:48 twist barrel and have bullet choices from 125gr to 200gr and I choose to shoot a 155gr with poor grouping from several different powder charges, should I go up or down in bullet weight to try and correct the problem?

Thanks for any input!
