No, it's not going to apply enough force to keep a pad from buckleing, My guess is you'd get colder if you put a pad between the UQ and the hammock. If you need to use both, then put the pad inside the hammock rather betweer the UQ and hammock body you could add a short piece of cord to lengthen the UQ suspension by 2-3 inches making it hang slightly loose and reducing it's efficiency for warmer weather

The side lines are for the BB/XLC and have nothing to do with the quilt, the quilt works just as well on our Traveler and Traveler XL models which do not have elastic sidelines. 850 fill is more expensive but not noticeably any better than 800, 900 fill is unreliable from an availability standpoint and very often not available at all.

To provide the correct tension...different models of hammock with different weight users will stretch different amounts and the quilt has to work well within the full range of all that without ever getting overly tight as to cause damage to the quilt.

Yes, definately. I'd say 2oz in the winter version is a good choice also

What size does it stuff down to?

About 2 liters for the 3 season and 3 liters for the winter version

The Wooki is completely different at foot vs head ends, however If you flipped it inside out you would technically have a reverse lay Wooki, except instead of the insulation hanging nice and fluffy and thick under the quilt, the insulation would be flattened between the quilt and the hammock. So if you flipped a 20 deg Wooki inside out you'd have the equivalent of a 50 deg reverse lay Wooki. So the best option for those that don't know if they need to buy a standard or reverse lay is to just order the hammock first, decide what you prefer, and then we can do either. However the standard lay is what we focus on keeping stocked, we can do a custom reverse lay for 25$ extra. Keep in mind that many users who don't already have a preference for one way over another (from prior hammocking) will find laying on either diagonal to feel just as strange in the beginning, and after several sessions either position they choose begins to feel normal... so most people will be able to go with a standard lay. I would say that if you feel comfortable sleeping the standard way, then you won't want to switch, very few people end up switching after they get used to one diagonal. If you have access to a sleeping pad you could try sleeping reversed for a few nights and deciding before committing to the Wooki

Yes can confirm

Because being able to remove insulation in summer or being able to use mid-weight insulation in spring, summer, fall or being able to use warmer insulation in winter are better than being stuck with one weight of insulation that you can't remove that may or may not be appropriate for the time of year or climate you are using it in. Just like you have several different weights of jackets that you put on or take off to remain comfortable as conditions and seasons change.

Warbonnet Outdoors I always adjust my temp by my top quilt. I don't change my mattress just my blanket on top. at least that is my thought process.

Yes and this works best, however alot of people might not want to carry 0deg permanently attached insulation in warmer weather because of the extra weight and especially bulk, it's more convenient to leave the winter underquilt at home and take a lighter less bulky 3 season underquilt instead. Or remove it entirely for a really hot summer night

Also, I will add, if you have an under quilt permanently attached and it gets damaged to the point it can't be repaired, you basically lose your hammock and under quilt.

How do you know that he doesn't have Native American heritage? You visit any Native American tribe today in the United States and you will find members of those tribes who look just like this guy.
