I would not suggest a Supertarp for what you'e described.....ever. I would take it out of the selection process.
The Supertarp is perfect for one guy/gal, works for two in a pinch, but that's it.
So the Tut would be my suggestion for sure.
7 ounces less than listed with arrows.
Weight includes belt
I'll comment more on your last question when I get in front of the computer.

The photos above should give you an idea, but it would work fine, if I'm understanding you correctly.
If it's a military type cot, you would need to bring it in from the sides a little, but there's plenty of room for the low or high pitch cot.
The Tut actually does better than you think when the side walls are pitched out a bit. It actually makes for a slope that the wind can flow off of, instead of bounce off of.
A lower pitch will help some, but I was in really high winds with it and the standard pitch wasn't an issue when the...
Give me a call this week (anytime is fine/after hours not an issue) and we can go over fitting and belt placement.

Look forward to chatting with you!
You bring up a good point about how the Tut/Sawtooth/Tipis handle wind, but you've left out MANY other factors to consider when someone is buying a shelter.
Here's a few things that I've found through my own use and decision making on shelters, but also from comments by users and potential...
We actually have a lot of guys that strap something like the 14'r on a frame and then use the 14'r as a daypack and the frame for the heavy load hauling out. I'm thinking that's what he was talking about.
We've probably set up 30+ frames for guys with the Zippy attached for this type of thing.
The easiest way to explain it, and the way it was explained to me by our supplier (it also makes the most sense), is comparing it to something like cotton t-shirts; some cotton shirts are really soft feeling, some are very rough. Some will stretch and shrink more than others and some will wear...
Nope, the Sawtooth does much better in high wind and "some people like green cars and some like blue cars", so there's still going to be a high demand for both.

Not just that, but you can pitch the side walls close to vertical, so the usable space (sleeping/sitting at the wall edge) is more user friendly.
