I'm a backpacker and I've started to lean towards DL. I found that 1.1oz SL hammocks stretch too much to be comfortable for my 180lbs and that I'm most comfortable in a fabric over 1.8oz. My reasoning for a 1.1oz DL then is that it's only 2-3oz heavier than a 1.8 SL and I have the option of using my pad (which comes with me regardless of whether I bring a UQ or not). Sure, I could use a pad in a SL as well, but it's not nearly as comfortable.
