5'3 hammocker checking in. I run the line between lightweight and UL depending on season and trip.
I started off with a Grand Trunk 10' I think but ended up being unhappy with the fabric.
Moved to a SimplyLight Tree Runner 9'. Thought because I was short it'd be fine. I love the hammock for naps and lounging but found I really wanted something longer for a flatter lay, especially on long trips.
Now my go to is still Simply Light, but I'm most comfortable with an 11' hammock. 10' isn't bad either.
Re bug nets, I ended up finding in the climates I camp in, it's a necessity. And the built in is a slight weight penalty compared to the bottom entry drawstring, but worth it for ease. And it's lighter than a zippered full net.
