The American Journal of Psychiatry put out an article last June that tried to compare many different psychotropic medications' weight gain, based on Medline and AltHealth. They came up with this:

tricyclic antidepressants - all bad, even protriptyline;
amitriptyline - bad, worst of tricyclics
mirtazapine (tetracyclic) - bad
MAOI-As - all bad
RIMA (moclobemide) - good, best of MAO
buproprion - good
venlafaxine - good
SSRIs - good (I debate this one)
fluoxetine - good, best of SSRIs, even promotes weight loss in anorexics

I believe that most of that is correct. But I myself didn't gain weight on mirtazapine or olanzapine, probably due to my high metabolism.
