What is your goto tent...when I fist starting backpacking it was a "light" Sierra Desiggns meteor light wt. 6 1/2 lbs...whew. I still have it 19 yrs later and in good spape too.
I use a tarp for March in New Mexico and Nov-feb in Texas...no bugs but in the Rockies in Summer the skeeters require an enclosed shelter.
For 2 persons I go with a Shires Tarptent Squall. It weighs a whopping 2 lbs....
I am considering a new 18 oz tent from tarptents called the sublite...I may have it for my Glacier trip this summer!
What about all of you out there? What is your shelter of choice?
