Wooki. Simple set-up, excellent quality, fits like a glove and stays put all night.

TQ: Enlightened Equipment (your choice: Enigma or Revelation) - I use a Revelation w/o the zipper - so where the zipper would have been it is sewn along that line. I love the weight, quality of construction, well-stuffed chambers, and the baffle design limits down shift (ie: falling off to the sides) to nothing. I find this to be the warmest TQ I've ever used so I like the ability to partially open the foot end to vent a little heat when pushing the upper limit.
UQ: Hammock Gear Phoenix or Incubator. I typically use a Phoenix for weight and bulk savings. I love my Incubator for no fuss when it's really cold though. I go UL most trips so I prefer the Premium models, but the quality and performance are equal in the Economy line.
My FrankenQuilt.
Because I made it.
It has never let me down.
It is filled with down.
There are sweet dreams sewn into it.

Big fan of my 20°F Underground Quilt Zeppelin. Heavy use from 65°F down to 15°F. I have one other UQ that is okay, but the Zeppelin is my main UQ. Also, have a Zero degree Wilderness Logic TQ that is great for low temps.
Both companies were easy to work with. As someone mentioned, hard to go wrong with with our cottage vendors.

TQs - fit is key - my reg LocoLibre Serrano 20 fits my 5'10" frame perfectly, cinches around my shoulders without much extra to catch my expired breath. Do not count me as one who likes to pull a quilt over my head.
UQ - my 24oz HammockGear Incubator zero-short; big and fluffy, yet packs down small and light; keeps me warm in the teens (as far down as I've been able to take it) and doesn't make me sweat in the 40s.
But really, whether its one of these makes or UGQ or EE or JRB or AHE, etc., its really hard to go wrong with any of them. I'd go for whichever you can get on sale.

Love my Hammock Gear quilts! I like Adam and Jenny and the quality is superb.
Unlike OneClick, I haven't really done a lot of buying and selling of quilts (I think he's bought and sold 11 or 12!). I did have an HG 20* quilt set that I sold to a forum friend, but that was just to upgrade to Dri-Down. Now all my quilts are Dri-Down (or whatever HG calls their water-resistant down).
I certainly like George Carr's Loco Libre quilts, but he started business right after I bought my last set of HG quilts, so I don't need any more quilts. Sorry, George! You do have some nice looking quilts, though.

I went absolutely crazy there for a moment. I'm talking pure insanity. I sold a 0° set just to get another color, two "short" Incubators since I felt like they didn't fit my new hammock (there may have been some justification there), two Incubators I sold to get the short models in the first place, and two Phoenixes because I couldn't get used to the 3/4 thing. Whew! Thankfully I'm done now...seriously!
Top quilt: Enlightened Equipment Enigma, both 20 and 30 degree. Fits well, keeps me warm to rated temps, compresses really small and are crazy light.
Under quilt: Warbonnet Wooki 20 degrees hands down, for all the reasons previously mentioned. Nothing bad to say about my others, but you can’t beat “set it and forget it”.
HG is the best I've used.
