Thinking about SEO and load speed, everybody talks about the importance of installing a caching plugin on a wordpress site, but sometimes my sites seem heavier with W3 total cache than without it. What's your opinion?

i prefer hyper cache. easier to install and it really makes your blog load faster

Yes.. even i saw tremendous improvements after using it on my few blogs!
I am still trying to get 100% score in Page speed and Y slow grade.. till now i got 92% for few of my sites by optimizing each and every suggestion GTmetrix gave me.

It's a good plugin, I use it in conjunction with maxcdn and it will allow you to scale wordpress up to handle huge traffic. Be careful of incompatibilities with other plugins.
