I've only used my HG dcf tarp two trips so I don't have a lot of time with it but I'm very happy. I have a RR and the fit is great.
This might be of help:

Just be very careful with your spreader bars on the RR hammock as I punctured a whole in one of my cuben/dcf tarps on a tight pitch.
DCF will not tear easily but will poke easily. Can be patched with duct tape though.

I bought a used hg dynema palace camo off the forums 2 years ago----works great with the wbrr! (no , you cant quite shut the doors, but they do close in to about a foot and a half or so gap) I also use the pole mod from dutch---really makes for a roomy , weather proof shelter! They do pack up a bit bulkier than sil, but I made an over sized pair of no see um snake skins and I have a special pouch at the bottom of my pack-so its no big deal
FYI: If you want to know what type a certain bear is, sneak up behind it and kick it. Then,
run like crazy and climb up a tree. If the bear climbs the tree and eats you, it's a black
bear. If the bear just pushes the tree over and eats you, it's a grizzly bear : )
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either, just leave me alone.

I don't use my dyneema tarp when taking a bridge. One, because spreader bars can puncture a tarp more easily than a gathered end like Shug said and it is easier to happen than you might think. Two, because I much prefer internal pole mods on a tarp with a bridge hammock. It opens it up so much better and I just suck up the weight of the poles (and the difference between silpoly and dcf) when I am carrying bridges since they aren't ultra lightweight anyways. I would look at SLD unless you are completely sold on dcf.
Very happy using UGQ's 13 ft Winterdream with my Ridgerunner. I can fully close the doors. Tell them you are using a bridge with it and they can move the side pullouts to match where your spreader bars are located.
