Welcome from Northern Va. I'm 5'9" 165 lbs and had been very happy with a Dutch 1.6 Argon hammock, Arrow Head Eq 3 season Jarbridge UQ and full cover bugnet.
I do have a Hennessy with attached bugnet. Hammock/insulation you must decide on based on what style camping you do.
Bugnet - My experience is that attached bugnets are hotter on calm summer nights and any part of you exposed on the bottom gets bit. Fronkey style full cover bugnets work best in my area.
If money is an issue, check this out and disregard the naysayers. The bugnet alone is worth the $11. Other than being heavy, the suspension is very solid. You could even remove the hammock side extensions and have a decent hammock.
Post 15 is a video, post 20 a review, post 32 adresses removing the side extensions.

Summary:
Pros: it is worth the $11, hammock is solid and comfortable, bugnet works well and fits any gathered end hammock up to 11ft, suspension is easy to use and solid.
Cons: Hammock is marketed as 2 person so lots of extra fabric, bugnet sewed on stuff sack drags on ground, suspension is very heavy. You can remove these by a little seam ripping.
