Get the Hex tarp. Much better coverage, especially since you are new to hammock camping. It is easier and you will feel more at ease.
As for the pad, I don't know. I would recommend an underquilt. I used a pad at first, but finally through fore an underquilt. It is warmer and more comfortable. Also, with a UQ you can vent if it is troo warm, so you get a wider usable temp range.
One more thing, order the side zip model. You will find it much more user friendly than the bottom entry. I had a bottom entry HH, but once I got a side zip, I never used the bottom entry anymore.
