So, I got a DW Chameleon with the symmetrical bugnet and now I can flip flop all night. I have the option of picking up an asym bugnet, but I'm pretty sure I'll still be a flopper. I dunno about DH hammocks, but if the bugnet is removable you should be able to flip and change the lay direction...definitely ask Randy.
The big difference is that there is a lot more floppiness of the hammock and the symmetrical bugnet. I end up using the hammock body tie outs to keep the net off my face. I never used them in the DW Half Zip and I assume I wouldn't in the Chameleon if I was using the asym bugnet.
