For reliability and convenience, check out cinch buckles with 1" straps. Add a biner or Dutch clip on the end of the strap, and everything can stay connected. I don't think it gets any more convenient than that!
I like whoopies and UCRs, mainly because I'm a geek and enjoy fiddling with different methods. But I always use cinch buckles for my kids' hammocks - the rule is that if they're going to be out on the trail with me, everybody sets up their own gear. Using that method, I've never had an issue with them struggling to get it done.
