I like the CAMP Nano 23. I think it is the lightest climbing rated biner available. If you are using it for your tree straps, you could also go with Dutch Clips, which are made by a forum member and are even lighter.
CAMP Nano 23 -- whoopieslings.com has them for an excellent price.

Learn to survive and thrive in any situation, for you never know what might happen. Love family and friends passionately. Suffer no fool. Know your purpose in life and follow it with all your heart.
I also like the CAMP Nano. I was using full size BLack Diamonds but you don't need a 6000 lb carabiner for hammock camping.
Just picked up 2 ange s biners by petzl. 28 grams and there is no catch on the gate like a traditional wire gate. A little expensive, but much easier to use than the camp nano 23. Not to mention a little heavier. 10 grams per pair. My opinion, the ange s is the way to go.

PS I have always hated wire gate biners, and I do have a pair of the camp biners. There might be some other biner that is lighter and better, but I only look at climbing rated biners.
I was using the Metolius FS Mini biner. It weighs 23 grams and costs $7.50 at rei. I recently switched to Dutch clips/whoopie hook combo.
Black diamond neutrinos. Started out as a climber that what I've always used
