I like all the brands mentioned here, (though inflatable frames are a stretch for my mind.)

On average, I think Sierra Designs tents have tended to be lighter, and slightly cheaper, than NF, while NF have tended to slightly better in construction quality. MSR might be considered in the middle. Eureka, in price if nothing else, is low end.

Assuming you've got a design appropriate for conditions and are willing to carry it and set the darned thing up, the question of free-standing vs non free-standing or tarps doesn't matter.

It's possible for one's preferred techniques to drift laterally over time, for no apparent reasons other than curiosity, random chance and boredom.

My three, highest guiding principles in all questions of camping and life are personal laziness, cheapness, and contrariness.
