3.5 from Alpkit and the Superlight from DD Hammocks are probably the main contenders.
May the bridges you burn light your way

And Siltarp 1.

I'm very happy with the bearpaw lair.

Ultra Sil Nano Poncho from Seatosummit or similar sized sil nylon tarps.
Enough space for one, very tight for two.
Easy to pitch using the bike in one way or the other(s)

My "similar sized silnylon tarp" is a Terra Nova Competion Tarp 1 and it's difficult to fault. A tad more expensive than the Alpkit, but slightly bigger and slightly lighter.
Bike at one end, one of Stu's 1m poles at the other. Sorted.

Teeto, like you In have the Trailstar clone, which I like during thunderstorm season, just about all summer here. To supplement it for other times I got the DD super light, slightly bigger than the Alpkit but two fewer tie out, which tbh I haven't missed. Would recommend.

I read this as:
"Tapas - what's the go to choice these days"
I thought it was pretty far off topic but still clicked out of interest before realising my mistake
