I strongly recommend the REI brand tents for what you want. Why? If you have any problem with the tent, REI will give you a new one, no questions asked. They have the most liberal return policy and really stand behind their products. When my son entered Boy Scouts (he is now an Eagle), I bought him the REI Half Dome 2 ($189). This is a 2 man tent, rugged and lightweight. I also have the REI Base Camp 6 tent for the family or larger groups of scouts ($419). Look at the difference between a quality tent and a cheap tent. With a quality tent, it will hold up in the wind and rain. The poles are aluminum. I see other scouts on campouts with tents that are blowing over or getting wet inside with a rain storm. I also have a REI 4 man tent I purchased 20 years ago. Still looks and functions like new. They really hold up. About half of our scout troop has REI tents now.
My son was snow camping with his REI Half Dome. He used an avalance shovel to clear snow off the tent and torn the rain fly. I took the fly into REI to see if they can repair it. They do not do repairs (at least in So Cal), and offered to give us a new tent. I said but we tore the fly, it was not a defect. They were still willing to give us a new tent. I just bought a nylon repair kit and fixed it instad of taking a new tent. But, that is how good the reutrn policy on equipment is at REI.
