Just be careful with the becket and mule tape. I dropped myself on my butt last summer with mule tape and still can't figure out why. I almost always use a becket and have been using hammocks for decades, but that's the first it's failed on me. I don't know if I absent mindedly tied it wrong, or too short a tail, or if the mule tape was too slippery. I've been using mule tape for a few years, but added kevlar straps a couple years ago, so maybe that was the key. But I'm with you on the mule tape; very easy to work with.
