I have both and find the Traveler (1.1 dbl) to be substantially more comfortable than the BB (1.1 dbl) though both are wonderful. I believe it allows a better asym lay than the BB. The bride may be using our Traveler in the future and so I am looking to buy the bug net to try but for now the BB is our go to when bugs are out. If conditions permit the Traveler is my preferred hammock.
A UQ and pad are definitely doable but I would only use the pad to augment insulation and avoid freezing...really think they defeat much of the comfort of a hammock. Been lusting after a Hammock Gear 0 degree Incubator (custom wide) to take the cold ability down a few notches.
