Using the 4" Cyclo pads, do I use the 5" or 6" counterweight, or should I just remove the counterweight altogether?
You can't remove the counterweight and operate the PC because the counterweight is what holds the spindle/bearing unit in place.

Some like using a 5" weight, some swear by the 6" weight, and some (like myself) don't really notice a difference. If you feel the PC has excessive vibration with the weight you're using then swap it out and see if it makes a difference:
