Ordered a pair of tarp flyz and 50' of zing-it. Should get me going. Going to have to learn some splicing. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Good choice...Tarp flyz is the sizzles
I've got the Hennessy hex... I keep the ridgeline with the tarp, ready to deploy quickly if Im setting up in the rain. I have a carabiner on one end and the other I just loop around the tree and tie a knot (Prussik?) that will slip when I want and stay otherwise. The same knots hold the fly in place on the line. Nothing fancy, although a guy watching me hang the hammock last time said I must have a degree in knot tying - I just told him it's handy to know how to tie things up in the woods...
I started out with masonry line on my tie outs. It was light, but highly prone to tangle and hard to work with (small so hard to untie a tight knot) and harder when wet. Go with Zing it on the tie outs and I love the tarp flyz. I have one at either end like Shug. Just larks head them on the D-Rings and your good to go.

It was a conventional opening, the equivalent of straying off the path in the wild woods in one age, or a car breaking down at night on a lonely road in another.”

I use a continuous with my Superfly. Zing it and those nite eyes things. Works pretty good. Dutch stuff would work better though.
I use a Nite Eyes figure 9 carabiner which is similar to the stingers. I also use their reflective cord.
