My main tarp is a WL Big Daddy. I haven't gotten wet with it thus far. I recently acquired a full winter tarp, and there were so many guy lines, and pull-outs, that it was kind of annoying. The hex I have four points of contact, and its simpler to set up. If it's going to rain hard, set it low closer to the hammock.
I think as stated, site selection is critical to hide from the wind. But that goes for any tarp IMO, even if you have huge coverage, if you can hide from the wind, wouldn't you?
