I'd go with something that has a ton of mesh. Alps is a good brand, but the Lynx has solid panels that may be too hot for you. Kelty is a solid brand too. With either one, go for whatever has more mesh, and get aluminum poles too if it'll fit in your budget.
If you're dealing with warm weather and very mild or warm nights, and have trees where you'll be camping, you should seriously consider a hammock. The main benefit is how well they breathe. When you sleep on the ground, you're on a surface that doesn't breathe at all. A hammock breathes all around you, which is especially nice on warm nights. Most of the hammocks on Amazon are too short for the diagonal lay that's most comfortable for sleeping. The Wildhorn Outpost is slightly on the short side, but better than most hammocks you'll find there. The suspension is easy to adjust too. It's heavy for backpacking, but should be fine for your applications. If you want to use it in cool to cold weather, you'll want to get an underquilt. Pads can be used in them, but they're a hassle and will piss you right off if you toss and turn like I do. You'll need a tarp too. Sanctuary makes a nice light silnylon tarp. 8x10 is a good size for a hammock. The 10x12 works too, but you'll probably want to set it up sideways because a long ridgeline can be a pita, and you'll have to wait for the 10x12 rectangular is back in stock. A polyester tarp should cost less and is easier to deal with since it doesn't stretch when it's cold and wet, but it's slightly bulkier. A truck tarp will cost much less, but is much bulkier.
A hammock and a big tarp will be super nice if you're chilling in camp waiting for the rain to stop.
