Both work well but cinch buckles are easy and fiddle free.

Here's a great discussion. The OP talks about going from whoopies back to buckles, and the conversation goes on from there with support for/against both.

Done with Whoopies

Cinch buckles are a bit easier made of durable materials and can be cinched right up to the hammock. Great for car camping.

As a backpacker, I use whoopies made with Dynaglide and Kevlar straps. This lightweight system has supported my 200 pounds for several years. And is unnoticeable in weight & volume in my pack.

A small continuous loop on the ends of your hammock even allow you to connect to tightly spaced trees, skipping the whoopie.

I have different setups for different purposes. I have a sub 2 ounce dynaglide whoopie sling suspension that I use with Kevlar tree straps. I combine this with a very lightweight SLD Streamliner hammock as part of my ultralight kit.

All my other hammocks all have cinch buckles though.

Between those two, I prefer cinch buckles. They're just easier to use, and you don't have to worry as much about tree spacing. My personal favorite, however, is a simple becket hitch tied directly to the CLs of my hammock.

For how easy they are I chose the cinch buckles. Dutch makes some good ones that I am enjoying.

As a newbie I got stuck in the endless debate pros/cons of various methods. In the end, I bought both.... Dutch Beetle (or some other bug) buckles and a 12' strap and bought some 7/64" Amsteel to make some Whoopie.
