Hi everyone!

I'm buying my own tent (first timer) and wondering if anyone would chip in their two cents on this decision. I was thinking about getting an affordable Coleman tent, but I don't like the fly on it (leaves the front and back sides of the tent exposed). So I figure why not splurge a little with the hope that my tent will last me for many years to come.

I'm trying to decide between the Eureka Bella Coola 3 (nicer price...), the Eureka El Capitan 3, and the North Face Stormbreak 3 (lifetime warranty...).

Any idea which one might withstand the rain better?
