Drip rings/lines... do you think the cleats would act in that capacity? Would they prevent water/rain from running down the line?
they replace the rings - definitely - don't need the rings if you are using the cleats. Also, you need shorter webbing - only enough to go around the trees you are using. I think Hennesy supplies 42" webbing as tree huggers.

Prevent water from running down the line? - yes, they interrupt the flow and provide a path that diverts the water from going further on the line.
