  I have owned several brands of inexpensive tents, some are easier to set 
up than others, but most are made so one person is able to do it alone. 
Also if you get 3 years from one you are doing good, if they are used often. 
I would discourage flame around any synthetic tent, but most are built to 
handle a good amount of wind when zipped closed.

Redhawk trading has a good starter period tent:
