I used the gossamer gear gorilla for both the AT and PCT. It met my needs and they were good about fixing any issues. They replaced if free twice when I had issues so no complaints. I have since put a roll top on it and I like it better than the drawstring top on the 2017. Gossamer Gear promptly started putting roll tops on them now so I guess they get the info.

A good all-terrain set-up is to replace the hammock tarp with an MLD Trailstar. A tough little tent that will keep you safe if you get caught out on exposed ground in stormy weather. The trailstar also works really well as a hammock tarp.
Add a Nemo Tensor and you'll be almost as comfortable sleeping on the ground as you are in a hammock. I have the short shoulder-to-knee 3/4 version. It's so deep & soft I had to buy a lightweight inflatable pillow!
