You can vent the UQ very easily. For that reason, most would recommend a 20° quilt set for year round. You can vent when it's warm, and supplement with a liner and/or clothing when it's colder.
I faced the same decision when purchasing my quilt set (what temp rating for most versatility). I went with a 20° Burrow/Incubator. The lowest I've had them so far is 38°, and I didn't know it was that cold until I got out of the hammock and checked the weather.
I still have a thermarest ridgerest pad, but I don't know when I'll use it again. Probably just for spare gear when someone else wants to come along, and my spare quilt is already in use.
There is a very special feeling of satisfaction that comes with being so warm and comfortable in your hammock, when it's cold outside of it.
