I opted for a small, light, one man tent - a Mountain Safety Research (MSR) Hubba. At just 3 pounds for tent, rainfly, poles and footprint (tarp) it was light and easy to set up. My shoulders touch the sides, but I have a good 6-8 inches above my head and below my feet to store clothing and gear. Also - check out the side vestible - more than enough space for my pack. For the AT - I'm not going to carry the tent - can save a pound if I just carry the footprint, poles and rainfly. Let's be honest - a little nylon and mesh doesn't really protect you from anything large enough to be scared of! I am going to miss that little gear loft - it was a great place to stash small items and be able to find them in the dark.
