Make sure to rope up for Middle Palisade glacier.

Right you are. I'm comparing twins to doubles. But a single length of twin is up to half the weight of a single length of single, and if you need full length rappels or want the security of two lines on lead, twins will be around 20% lighter than doubles.

Depending on the manufacturer there is almost no weight difference between twins and doubles. The Mammut Twilight and Phoenix come to mind. I'm sure if you look you can find heavier doubles but you can also find really light doubles too.
If you have to ask what rope to get then a single is the answer.
