As above, if you wont be carrying it on your back, go for a lightweight 2-person tent for some extra room and storage space. Im using a SMD Lunar Duo at the moment, which is very nice thank you but Ive still not got the hang of pitching the bastard just yet.
Always like the look of the Big Agnes Super Scout UL2 because of the big porch area, and if you;re made of money, the Hilleberg Nallo GT2 is said to be brilliant – not the lightest but very, very robust and again has a big porch for cooking when you;re trapped in the rain.
Have a look on here and here for inspiration.
