I do have some experience with a Hennessy Explorer Deluxe, Hennessy Expedition, Hammock Bliss No-seeum, Warbonnet Blackbird, and a homemade hammock.

All my Hennessy's have bottom entry which was interesting but makes entry into a sleeping bag tedious. I stopped using the Hennessy when camping on Cumberland Island GA because of mosquito bites through the bottom. I now prefer a double-layered hammock to prevent mosquito bites and also to help hold pads in place for insulation (I prefer pads over under-quilts). If I bought another Hennnessy, I would get a side entry model with two layers.

The Warbonnet Blackbird is a nice hammock, lightweight, easy to enter, and comfortable, but so was the Hennessy. I've never been bitten by mosquitoes when in the Blackbird. If you are familiar with Hammockforums, there was a thread on mosquito bit-through on the Blackbird and I think after more than 50 posts no one experience a mosquito bit through the bottom of the Blackbird. It seems the Blackbird is the most sought and praised hammock on Hammockforums, and it has very high and very quick resale on their For Sale forum. If you buy one and dislike it, no worries with selling it.

Often I use a homemade double-layered hammock. Very inexpensive to make and easy too. It is just as comfortable as any other model I have. You can find many how-to threads on Hammockforums if making your own is of interest.

I also have several tarps including the Warbonnet Superfly and Hennessy Hex 30D rainfly. For the price the Hennessy Hex at about $50 to $60 is a very good buy and the one I tend to use on most trips. The Superfly costs about $130 and weighs about the same as the Hex (~19 to 23 oz), but the Superfly has "doors" and offers lots of coverage and protection.

You can see my Blackbird and Superfly (with doors pulled up) in photo 1 and Hennessy Deluxe and Hex tarp in photo 3 here:
