Hammock.
I have a ENO single nest. I really like it but as a side sleeper by nature and living in the desert, it doesn't get used much. But I like it.
Sleeping bag.
If you are wide in the middle obviously stay away from mummy bags. My favorite bag lately has been a Big Agnes and I also have a big agnes insulated inflatable pad to fit in it.
If you want to be really versatile, I did this...I bought the Thermarest Tech Blanket, extra large size. It is essentially a SUPER poncho liner. It is by far the warmest blanket I own. The Tech Blanket has snaps so it can be folded, snapped and you have (IMO) a 35-40* bag. The bottom has a draw cord to cinch up for a foot box. There is an additional buy for a Thermarest fitted sheet that you put over an inflatable sleeping pad then it also has snaps that mate to the Tech Blanket. So you have a modular sleep system. So I use my Big agnes insulate pad for that too. If you had a silk sleeping bag liner, this would be hard to beat for anything but wet conditions.
