Only had 2 tents since camping, we first bought the Lichfield Arapaho 9DLX Family Tunnel Dome Tent , we have only used it twice and found we wanted one with a SIG, we like this tent but are now selling it.  For 2008 we bought the Outwell Hartford XL and absoultey love it, can't see us getting rid of this one.

My worst tent was a Pro-Action 10 man dome tent, it had a big sleeping compartment (but wouldn't manage 10 people) yet a small living area. The Outer skin had a gap of about 4 inches around the bottom so wind got into it. It ended up being destroyed in a freak weather storm which snapped 4 of the 5 poles and ripped the outer skin. It then went into the skip (except the bits that I might be able to recycle)

Best I've owned is the Sprayway Valley 4, it was the replacement for the one above and I love how easy it is to put up, the space inside and the amount of windows and doors on it.

Though my other tent (the original one I bought) which is a Pro-action 4 man tent from Argos and I've used it 3 times and it's so reliable, though has very limited headroom.

Worst tent was a macro 4 little dome tent that leaked like a sieve but even that was better than the canvas ridge tents that we used it guides, took forever to pitch and leaked as badly as the macro one. Best is hard to say as all our decent tents are great in different ways.  Coleman Bi-space 300,  vagao milano, wynnster pegasus 6.
