As with anything in hammocking... it depends:
For car camping, I'll pull out the old daisy chains. Reliable, durable and easy. Down side. They are heavy at nearly 1lb so not good for backpacking.
For backpacking I use a UCR Larksheaded to the minimum length needed to protect the trees strap. This is similar to the Hummingbird brand strap. Design requirement for this system is minimal weight yet be capable of holding 400lbs safely primary, No fuss set up second. During set up there are no knots to tie or other connections to mess with. I just wrap the tree, pull the adjustment line to desired position and done. This is similar to the buckle systems but only weighs 1oz (28g) each.
