For your purposes, if you’ve got the budget (and it looks like you’ve got plenty of time to save up), DCF all the way.
I got two thrus out of mine from hammock gear.
It really is amazingly light, and doesn’t really absorb water so never gets heavier.
If I were to Thru hike the AT again I’d absolutely buy a new dyneema tarp
FWIW I used Dutch stingerz with zing it preattached for my ridgelines and used some msr groundhogs for the corners. I tied zing it directly to the stakes and had Dutch fleaz larksheaded onto my tarp tieouts.
The theory behind this was to be able to adjust the tarp while staying under it but the few times I had to do this it was so bad I got sprayed anyway. But I still liked doing it because it’s just easier for me to wrap the cord around the stakes and toss em in the bag. Also makes it harder to forget a stake.
On the PCT I played around with a few other stakes; titanium shepherds hook, mini ground hog, some random y stakes....I still have most of them but prefer the mini groundhogs - they just grip and last so well. I still use the other titanium ones, so if you get a deal or are weighing grams you’ll be fine either way, just be aware that some spots are gonna be rocky and it’ll be a bit of a pain to get a stake in, but you’ll always be able to make it work
