My hubba hubba lasted 3 nights before harsh winds in Wales bent the poles 90 degrees. Luckily I managed to warranty the poles, clean the tent and the store accepted the return. So I got my £450 back and spent £350 on an Xmid which has been far more bomb proof in what I reckon is equally strong winds.
I also found it being built inner first a big drawback as well as being very drafty inside, as the fly sits quite high up.
For 1p tents, there’s a wide range. I started with an elixir one which is on the smaller end but now have an akto which is huge along with my x mid.
All of these tents I’ve spent a week plus straight in them and not had an issue. I’ve got an hubba 2 and only use it with my partner.
I’ve used the older Hubba Hubba and it’s great for the calmer weather for just a weekend. Bit crap for extended periods due to the inner first pitch, and not great at all in wind.
Second the suggestion for an Akto, or for a lighter weight alternative the xmid 1
I've used a Hubba Hubba 2 for a decade, from the top of a mountain to the bottom of the Grand canyon.
Unless you're legit backpacking solo, I would say get the 2 person. It's small enough and light enough to carry solo for shorter trip, or split between two people.
MSR Hubba Hubba is a very spacious and airy tent, light and packable. I’ve got the one man version and it’s great for three season use.
Pitches inner first but in reality it’s so quick to put up that’s it’s a non issue unless you’re in an absolute biblical monsoon.

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
