It purely depends on what optic you will be using.
For the dustcover mount, i have a trijicon rmr on it and it works amazing. As the rail itself is short.
On my 1 side mount i have another trijicon rmr but on a different vz rifle with same side mount i will be using a Browe BCO (ACOG style 4x optic)

Dustcover rail adds almost no extra weight to the rifle. Side mounts adds quite a bit of weight (couldn't tell ya how much as I've never weighed it but you will notice it)

So there's two parts to the side receiver mounts. The rail, which threads directly into the reciever. And the QD mount, which is the throw lever you see just above the white writing in the 3rd photo. That part needs to come off for you to take your dust cover off and get inside. But, its a single throw lever to do so. The side-rail stays on.
Nice Vz.58 collection.
Is that laminate wood in the stock and fore-end on the one on the right (the longest barrel model)? Sharp looking.
What are the barrel lengths of each of those 3 models?
Considering a Vz.58 someday, but I'm not sure about which barrel length yet.
Cheers.
