I can only speak for the tarp I have, the OES MadCat Standard. I love it so far. Enough room underneath and coverage overall.

I have the HH Hex tarp, it was only $20 more when buying the system and was well worth the upgrade. I absolutely love the side pockets for tucking in the ropes, I actually like the tarp better than my $130 SilTarp II because of that. For your budgeted amount you could get the Silnylon hex tarp and get the best of both worlds.
Save some $ and get an excellent Wildernesslogics Big Daddy 1.2 Silnylon, 130" x 115". Cat Cut Shape, Web Ties, Total Pack Weight: 13.9 oz.
Plenty of coverage and packs up small.

I love my wilderness logics oldman winter tarp. And it's right in your budget and has free shipping... Not to mention his customer service is second to none!

While I ultimately want a Winter Cuben fiber tarp, I've been thinking about the HH Monsoon or Typhoon as an interim solution. I saw Headcracker's Monsoon at the Fall MAHHA 2011, and it provides a lot of coverage for such a low price ($79.95 for poly, $109.95 for SilNylon). And the doors/blast panels are removeable.
I have to vote for Marty's wilderness logics old man winter .....huge coverage built-in doors and all the tie Downs and pull outs needed at no extra charge as well as free seam sealer and super fast shipping
Don't forget about Gargoyle gear.. My favorite!!
We would be one step closer to world peace, if everyone slept in a hammock..
Hammock Gear or Z-Packs Cuben. Both excellent choices.
Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
I LOVE my Superfly! For the minimal increase in weight, I get so many more possibilities! There also is a certain amount of heat retention when staking it close to the ground and closing the doors also. There have been a few times the wind has shifted late at night and the doors were there to assist in draft control.
