I’m not sure what type you are planning on hitting the trail but I cannot recommend Henry Shire’s tarptent enough. If you can wait for it then I believe it would be worth it. I used a Squall on my thru-hike and loved it. I got the sewn in floor and it was still very lightweight, does not take up that much room, you can use one of your hiking poles for setup and it has tons of room for all your gear. You will find that a little extra room makes a ton of differece during your hike.
Hope this helps,
