Fruit while losing weight

I am in a quandry. I am trying to lose a few pounds. I love fruit and there is nothing wrong with fruits, in fact they should be in everyones diet. The fresh or frozen fruits, not so much the canned with all that syrup. Neolithic diets sites and  every low carb site list berries as a fruit you may eat. Which is awesome because I like berries. I love eating frozen raspberries right from the pouch on a hot summer day.

So the quandry is, which fruits are better to eat while shedding weight, and which should I avoid? The search for information has made me very confused. Some places on the net, list the net carbs ala Atkins, carbs minus fiber equal net carbs. Other sites list just the carbs, as if all carbs are equal. Others still list a glycemic load or the glycemic index, but I am unsure which is a better measure.
