I have had experience with several net systems. In nearly all cases, the ultimate determiner about the liveliness of net play, etc., is
who set the net up and how well they did. 

The best system I've used is the 'Cobra' system which... was developed by some guy in California. It consists of a pair of 18" (? maybe 24") (Cobra note - 30") stakes which are driven with a sledge into the ground. The poles are somewhat flexible and fit over the stakes with sleeves.  The greatest benefit of this system is the lack of guy wires and the lively net play. It is also nearly impossible to pull down. Obvious drawbacks are the weight of the system (Cobra note: 35 pounds - all components in carrybag) and needing to pound the stakes in. I will say from experience though that it is worth it....
