Try an 11-footer from Dutch ware and get his advice on suspension.
Typos from my Moto E using Forum Fiend v1.3.1.
I own several hammocks but my "Go to" hammock is my Wilderness Logics Lite Owl. The version to suit your size is the Night Owl; advertised to support 400#.

Given your size, I'd go for an 11' hammock in a double layer of either 1.6 NylonD (from, say. Hammeck) or 1.6 HyperD (from, say, Dream Hammock).
Yeah, 350lbs is up there. You'll need either a double layer of 1.9 regular ripstop or double 1.6 diamond grip ripstop.
Contact Dutch from Dutchware and see if he'll custom make you a double layer from NylonD 1.6 (the ones he's selling currently are 1.0, fit for 300lbs).

I am a great proponent of the entire Wilderness Logics line of hammocks, quilts and tarps. Super quality, super fast and super comfortable.
Plus 1 on the Night Owl (http://www.wildernesslogics.com/Night-Owl-Night-Owl.htm). I really like mine.

All good stuff. You should also look at a Blackbird or Blackbird XLC and Hammeck.
Contact the manufacture and ask them what they recommend. Several of the hangers on the forum weight close to 400 lbs

Highly reccomend the Warbonnet XLC 1.7 double layer.
