But there are plenty of quality tents out there. Just depends how light you want to go.
If you want something to be versatile, light, strong, last forever, look at say a Silnylon mid, and inner with Silnylon floor. You'll probably never wear it out unless you use it every night for a couple of years straight. Not much to go wrong. Simple to repair if it does. They tend to hold their value on the 2ndhand market as well if you want to sell and upgrade to a larger tent, etc, later on.
Try Mountain Laurel Designs Solomid + Inner
Or the MLD Cricket tent-this is a unique design, no zipper on the tent, but its quite a versatile and bombproof shelter. Handles high winds and snow no problem (as does the larger version, the trailstar). Slightly harder to pitch than a four sided mid but you get used to it. Cheaper than Mid option.
Or for cheaper again, but not as good for inclement (high winds, snow) conditions get a rectangular tarp and bug net.
All these options require a pole of some sort-most hikers these days use trekking poles for that. You can buy seperate poles though if you don't use trekking poles at all.
