100% tent set up is faster. My buddy that I hike with most of the time is a tenter. We pull up and decide where to camp at. I hang my hammock and sit down for a spell or maybe lay back. He does all of this and that clearing and staking things down and is set up in no time while we chat. I occasionally will nod off for a few while he sets up. After a bit I figure its time for me to put the tarp up and find my quilts and maybe adjust the hammock.
He was done a good half hour before me!
The one time that I lorded hammocking over him is when he had to move his tent under my tarp to break it down in a steady rain. I had all my DRY stuff packed away ready to go and I had a nice rectangle of dry ground to work on. My dry camp chair was under my tarp, his was wet.
