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.
Can't speak to the OHM, but I have the Volt 3. You can compare specs on MEC site.
It's bulky and a bit heavy.
It fits easily on a tent pad.
It fits 2 people with gear, ample space inside.
Geometry was great for wind and rain.
Any back country camping off a tent pad is a challenge, it has a larger footprint that makes finding decent flat space a challenge. I was extremely jealous of fellow campers in their bivvys or 2p spark or Hubba Hubba 2.
Great tent, but I've added a 2p Hubba Hubba to my gear since and have much appreciated the smaller footprint and space in my gear. I won't be using it for 2 people though, maybe me and my kid. But, ill take the Volt 3 for wife and kid and pick my hikes wisely.
Good price though!

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