I have the toxaway and I've been really happy with it. Depending on how you do your ridge line (over or under) will be one of the biggest factors in how high up you have to tie to the tree. I don't normally have to reach any higher to hang my tarp than I have to reach for my hammock suspension (I normally tie off below my tree straps) and I run my ridge line over the tarp. I have not had any experience with other tarps but the toxaway is really nice.
