Recent conversion with my sister about options for her kids...
---snip---
The Hug Bug Net - half a net, I do NOT recommend this option for the kids.
It's ok for adults.
People use it because lower body is covered by quilt when camping.

ENO Guardian Bug Net
I use this, a little heavy for some backpackers but I like it. Not as large as some options but we can't test it with Jeff's hammock asap.

Ah, which is the best way to go, topic of many a conversation on HammockForums.net
Zippered is popular because folks feel more enclosed, bug resistant.
Shock cord closures and draw string closures are popular with the DIY crowd because they are easier to make.
Some like a vertical zipper because the believe it is easier to zip close or open from inside the hammock.
Some like the horizontal or smiley face zipper because it is easier getting in or out but a little more difficult to zip open or close from within the hammock.
Many like the ease of the shock cord or draw string entry, simple and easy to make.
Others prefer the integrated bug net that can be zipped on or off and is directly attached to the hammock.
Then there is this, tarp with integrated bugnet.

The best option, imho, is this laser mosquito killing system seen on this TED talk
