If you're less than 6' tall, like ample peak height, quick setup, easy in and out, good ventilation, and are on a tight budget, take a close look at the Spitfire 1.

I've used one for 4 years on long bicycle tours. Set up and taken down a 100 times. Been thru strong wind, heavy rain, and hail. No significant problems. Very durable.

Vestibule space is small so I bring bike bags inside. Tight but it works. Have also cooked inside when weather was awful. Minimal set up requires only two stakes.
