Unless you are car camping, weight and pack size are quite important. Three-season tents that accommodate two to three people usually weigh in at four to nine pounds. Family and expedition tents can easily weigh more than 10 or even 20 pounds. Lighter is better, but don't sacrifice important features for a few ounces. Zip-out nylon panels over mesh inserts are the current rage for added ventilation but they add both weight and cost.
Poles add weight to a tent but can supply sturdiness as well.
