As you can see there are lots of choices. It mostly boils down to what you want to spend and how much weight you want to carry. Go look at a bunch of them. See which one is easiest to set up. Just about any of the tents suggested would do the job. Even some that haven't been suggested...Eureka Timberline is a workhorse but weighs about what a workhorse does...will work. I'd start with REI and use their comparison feature.
