Depending on the area you're in, I would recommend a hammock. I know I know, probably a moot point, and I'm not a hammock nut, but I find that since I can set it up in five minutes, my hammock can make a scenic reststop into a hour or two of lounging in comfort in the middle of the day.

Also, you can get good at finding a camp where your hammock setup is such that you can sit in it while chatting to your buddies, or even while your water is boiling, etc. Just my two cents (a light hammock can be cheap and weigh about as much as any non man-bushcraft chair option)
