Thanks guys! I ended up going with the HG standard, now I've got to jump up and down for a few weeks till it gets here!

Everyone is discussing the coverage of the HG Winter Palace and it's ability to stop spray by pitching it low to the ground. Does the coverage make the UQ protector a wasted purchase and or not worth carrying the slight weight? I was ready to purchase the protector but rethinking it due to the coverage of the Winter Palace which is a purchase that is in my future.

The HG Standard has served me well through several coastal storms. It is a very nice light-weight tarp for backpacking or kayaking.

When the WP is pitched low with the doors closed I see no way the hammock or quilts could possibly get wet.

HG standard has treated me very well. From windy Minnesota to the down pours of the Southeast.
Good choice!
