I am looking for your suggestions on underquilts to be used on the eastern US trails: full length or 3/4, temp rating, materials, brand names and your experience, Thanks

There are a ton of them to choose from. Go to hammockforums and check them out. I use Full Length and 3/4 length, down and synthetic depending of the weather, temps and where I am hiking.

Lots of great vendors out there but I am partial to Hammock Gear and down fill. 3/4 length for a little more weight savings but with the M50 outer material a full length is very close to the weight range of a 3/4. for eastern trails a 20 deg is a good single choice for 3 season but if cost is not a problem you can get a summer quilt and a winter quilt. Go to hammock forums to find more information.

Whatever UQ you choose, you might be able to squeeze a little more performance out of it with Dutch's quilt hooks: http://www.outdoortrailgear.com/featured/dutchware-quilt-hooks/

Same here. I love their downy goodness. I have both an Incubator UQ and a Burrow TQ. Love them both. I also have a Jarbridge synthetic UQ from Arrowhead.

I've borrowed someones warbonnet uq for two days when I had a wbbb, was awesome. Bought a hammock gear 3/4 uq for my homemade hammock and it's been equally awesome. Went with h.g. because they had a killer black friday sale.
