A relatively cheap and comfortable option is the GT nano 7; http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hammock-Reviews/Grand-Trunk-Nano-7
It is my favorite hammock, because I like lightweight, small gear. It comes with a couple of carabiners at the ends, but those are meant to be replaced with a more permanent suspension (I added whoopie slings, which are slightly expensive to buy, but cheap and easy to make if you have a sailing supply store nearby). The result is a modular hammock; the hammock itself is very light, so I can take it by itself to a lot of places, but the insulation and bugnet are carried separately, which means that I can customize for each trip. Last weekend, I took it camping with my girlfriend, and we had some extra insulation but no bugnet.
If you are looking for a first hammock, you might just want to get something cheap with a built in bugnet. In the UP in the summer, bugs are going to be a serious problem for you. I started with this one, and used it for a week long trip in Russia: http://www.amazon.com/Byer-of-Maine-Moskito-Hammock/dp/B00092M246
As Zooshooter suggested, Hennessy and Warbonnet are some of the more comfortable options that would be sold complete with everything you need (except insulation).
I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00092M246/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But it looks like the price has gone up in the last 2 years.
I don't think those hammocks with the bug net only over your face would be sufficient. I like the full netting and a sleeping pad on the bottom.
