I favor option 3 but a Jarbidge UQ ($100) would be a definite improvement over the pad. I'm not too keen on the HUG bugnet because it requires that you keep your sleeping bag/TQ on you for bug protection. I've watched all three of my kids sleeping and the first place they vent is to take their legs out of the sleeping bag (I do too). Welcome to the Zika virus!
The HH Hex was just a suggestion - you can get a silnylon tarp that will weigh a lot less than 27 ounces - A 4-season Superfly is only 19 ounces, and there are smaller hex or asym silnylon tarps.
That sleeping bag weighs a ton - you can get an HG 20* TQ that will be 18.66 ounces. You may have to save up for that item, but you'll save 27 ounces!
