I'm a relative newbie (only a couple of years) in my hammock, so I'm still using the tree hugger system that came with my Hennessy.
I'll experiment more this year - the ring buckle system looks like it's easy to set up and adjust, but the Speer 4-wrap looks like the ultimate in simplicity, at least once I figure it out.
Just got a Speer winter tarp for xmas, so it's time to play in the backyard.
I just tweaked my Claytor to a buckle system, not sure yet if Im going to stick with it but so far it seems reliable. Using a JrB Tri-Glide attached permanently to the end of a stock tree hugger (cut, then re-sewn with the tri glide), then I removed the ol' green rope from the Claytor and used polyprop webbing in its place. now I can wrap the tree hugger, slip the hammock end-webbing thru the tri-glide and that's it. also I added a structural ridgeline to the whole deal, so I dont have to fidgit with the webbing too much. best thing is, the tree huggers that collect sap dont touch the hammock because they go in a seperate stuff sack.
Just using the standard straps that came with the HH.

I'm now using the Carabiner Hitch technique described by TeeDee in this post.
It's working great! Much less weight and volume, easy to adjust, holds rock-steady.
