I've found better tarp options on amazon but this tarp is about half the cost and about half the weight. Set it up on the ground with a pair of cheap trekking poles. If you need bug protection you could grab a net tent off amazon for 10-15 bucks; use it as-is or cut it up to use as a perimeter netting.
This type of setup is less than two pounds packed weight and still less than the solitaire, more living space, better ventilation. You can sit up and cook under it. Sleeps two if you're netting is large enough...
You sound like you approach it all the same way I do.
I have the small geertop one from your link, it packs up to the size of an apple. It's a good ground sheet just slightly larger than my pad. Even the large one would make for a decent tarp if it weren't so small.
I've got this one with its incredibly stupid name across one corner, and I like it just fine. Water beads off of it, it has decent tie outs that haven't torn yet. Yet, of course.
I think hikers prefer silnylon simply for its weight, plain and simple.
The way I look at it with a bushcraft perspective is: it's going to eventually get fucked up by your own fault in some regard while you're out, and that'd really bum ya out with a $120 tarp. It wouldn't bum ya out with an 8 dollar crunchy poly tarp, but having to deal with one in the first place is a bummer in and of itself.
To me, a 40 dollar tarp is the perfect balance of risk and reward.
Sorry didn't see that.
Still would recommend saving your pennies for one if you can, it will definitely save you money in the long run.
If that is completely out of the question, maybe buy a cheap light weight 10x10 tarp off of Amazon to pair with a more affordable tent.
I have this tarp and love it. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01GQFW5RS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_m-GHDb2GS3XKY
