What is the easiest setup for a tarp tent? Just like a groundsheet and tarp supported by trekking poles?

You really have to sort of play around with it and set it up quite a few times to really gage it. I do not carry poles and use it on tent platforms and it stakes out just fine. I use tyvek as a ground cloth, I ditched the eaton stakes that came with it and went with some MSR ground darts or any type of X tent stake. They are good for staking into the rocks.

Are you talking about what are the different ways to use a tarp as a camping shelter?

Or you are talking about the UL brand of tents?
