The symmetric bugnet is cut the same on both sides (symmetric) so that the hammock can be layed in either way which is great for people that don't know their lay, move a lot, or don't have a lay preference.
The asymmetric bug net is cut for a specific lay and if you lay against the cut you can put too much stress on the netting and cause ripping. It's often a lighter/more packable option as there is less material and is preferable to someone that always lays the same direction because there is less net sagging
