Love my cheapy one that we got from Aldi or Lidl (can't remember which!) 2 years ago.
Really big and has a roof which is ideal for cooking under.
Only down side is it rustles like a carrier bag in the wind!
I also have Blue Diamond one which is gorgeous but quite big and heavy.
I have recently bought 2 of these off eBay which I love!!

(If you see my image gallery you will understand why I like them!!)

Fabric seems to be OK as it is waterproof nylon material - I would expect to get 2-3 seasons out of them.
I didn't really need them but I just loved the flowery pattern!

We have the cheap stripey ones and they are great. We did have along 10 pole one, but this was awkward to position, so we got a couple more 4/5 pole ones instead and these are far more flexible

The outwell or gelert ones pack down smaller than wooden poled windbreak. The windbreak has stayed put in heavy winds but need care positioning guys so have clear walk in and out and does not limit space inside- possible with a bit of planning, had to stick spikes into poles though as when taking down lost a couple in soil until fixed problem when back home. no problem with rustling.

We know quite a few people who have had the new gen windbreaks with the metal poles and guy ropes, note the 'had' bit!
Old school one's all the way, much stronger in the wind as many have already stated.
