In my experience, stretchier hammocks are better for side sleeping. Firmer is better for back sleeping. I find stretchier hammocks are a little better with regards to shoulder comfort, but I rely on my ridgeline length to address that along with any calf ridge.
As a starting point to select something based on your sleeping style and preferences, I believe the objective consensus you'll find is that:
Firm to Stretchy: Hexon 1.6, HyperD 1.6, Robic 1.2, Robic 1.0, Hexon 1.0, HyperD 1.0.
