10 years ago there weren't a lot of options. Today, we have a a lot of options. The ultralight shelter section of my web pages have my observations about a number of shelters.

These days I primarily use Zpacks Hexamid (12.6oz including groundcloth and stakes) though I switch to a MLD SuperFly (think GoLite Shangri-La 2 made out of spinnaker with bug netting around the perimeter but weights around 18oz) if I am expecting really nasty weather, or if I am sharing a shelter with someone. The lightheart gear solo awning provides double walled ease of use at the weight of many single walled ultralight shelters, and the MLD DuoMid + innernet provides arguably the most versatile shelter system around. All good choices.
