ENO Atlas Straps are the quickest and easiest, but we've gone to whoopies/straps/MSRs with our new TCF hammocks.
My favorite for years running is the Warbonnet webbing setup. I have whoopies on couple hammocks as well for the standard whoopie & marlin spike set up. I started with whoopies and found I kept needing longer tree straps so there comes a point where I might as well just attach the webbing to the hammock. Much of my hiking is in virgin wilderness areas (northeastern WA) so the old growth trees tend to be a bit larger than I see in many photos and videos. I like the Warbonnet setup for it's simplicity, clip the strap around each tree and adjust as easily as a pack strap.
Treehuggers, toggles, whoopieslings are, for me, the easiest way to set my hammock up. I especially like the fact that I can adjust the angle of the hammock quickly due to the whoopieslings.
I keep learning and will never know enough.
12' Straps, Dutch Clips, Marlinspike hitch with random sticks, direct to CLs on the hammock end
Dutch spiders with dutch clips and CL attached to dutch beiner I have a ridge runner so that beiner needs to be there to manage the suspension triangle.
Bacon and Camping makes me happy.

I camp in bear country and I am a bear Burrito.
I've tried a few (not all) and I've settled in with cinch buckles and straps. Easy to work with , simple , effective, and work in a wide range of hangs. Not for all but that's my go to
I started out with whoopie slings and soft shackles connecting to cl on hammock then msh on tree straps. Switched to cinch buckles for a bit, real simple and had no problems with them. A few months ago made some new whoopie slings and switched the buckles over to my son's hammock. I have the slings attached to the cl with some Dutch biners and some diy aluminum toggles for the msh. I just like the whoopies more, no real reason, just like the setup.
Whoopies with tree straps, using wire gate carabiner instead of a toggle.
Started with UCR's, but I could not get past their tendency to creep...
