When we started backpacking with our son we bought the REI Half Dome 4 HC (http://www.trailspace.com/gear/rei/half-dome-4-hc/) -- which has one of the best ratios of square footage per pound among 4-person tents, with 57 sq. ft. of space at 8 lbs 3 oz. Other contenders were the very-similar Kelty Gunnison 4 (http://www.trailspace.com/gear/kelty/gunnison-4/) and the Eureka! Timberline 4XT (http://www.trailspace.com/gear/eureka/timberline-4xt/).

If you're going to be backpacking a lot you might also consider some of the lighter (if somewhat smaller) single-wall options, including the Black Diamond Megamid and TarpTent Rainshadow 2.
