I use a diamond claytor (not UL by any means) and I am fine with it. I really like the simplicity of just the ridgeline and 2 tie outs. Works well with my BB.

WB has a diamond as well - that's what I would go with. I have a Maccat Std and I consider it very fairweather for the BB. You'd have to pull that micro down on you to get really adequate coverage. Something I personally don't like to do.
Has anyone tried one of the Hennessy asym tarps like the "Backpacker / Deep Jungle Rainfly 30D Silnylon" with a WBBB ?
I just purchased a "Tad pole" from Wilderness Logics I used it last weekend on the Pine Mountain trail in GA. I used it with my WBBB 1.7SL It rained very hard on the over nighter. The next morning I inspected my rig and everything was dry.. This is my new goto tarp for sure....
Zpacks makes a small cuben fiber hammocks tarp works great for my wbbb and very light
Asym diamonds such as the original Hennessy types are good. Light for hiking. There is not a lot of room under them, but they will keep you dry while you sleep if pitched (orientation) and close to the hammock ridgeline. Forum Guru PapaSmurf has a tutorial:

I like the tadpole a lot it's my go to tarp in most weather.
Just picked up an edge tarp. It seems to be a great size vs weight option.
