I have used both in high wind and rain situations. Both came through with flying colors. You don't "cocoon" as much as set that tarp low and get the sides as close to the ground as possible to prevent splash. If high winds are a concern the pull outs are what help the tarp hold shape. My Tadpole is bone stock and was last used in a storm with 45MPH wind gusts and heavy rain. No issues at all.
I have 2 loops, the additional loop is in the middle of the long edge of the tarp. You don't really get doors with it. You could talk to Marty and see if he would place those where you wanted, additionally Marty might have a recommendation for you based on what you want and your style of camping. You won't go wrong ordering either choice.
