I have 3 Eno hammocks among my family. I just replaced 2 of them with Bear Butt hammocks from Amazon. The fabric is exactly the same. (75D/250T) The gathered ends use nylon straps instead of the marine grade rope on the Eno. (I replaced these with Amsteel continuous loops from Dutchware.) The carabiners are not as nice as the wire gates on the Eno so I just transferred those from my old hammocks.
For a budget hammock you cannot go wrong with Bear Butt. I am more than happy with them especially for $26.

In my experience, ENO is way too expensive for what you get.
Things may have changed since I had one, but when I got my Eno in 2012 you had to buy the straps separately on top of the already over priced hammock.
I've had a Hobo Hammock for a bit over a year and I love it. I recommend it to everyone I know who's interested in a hammock. It's a solid price, a very good size, and it comes with straps.
I've also heard great things about Bear Butt, but have no personal experience myself. I know they're on sale right now on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0161NDNS0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7XCBybYBM7YZ9
That's pretty dang hard to beat for the price. I don't particularly like the straps it comes with, but you can get some spares for $10-$15 from various places. I know Dutchware and Hobo Hammock both sell straps separately if you need them.
I also know people who have used Grand Trunk and seem to have good experience with them. From what I've seen, they tend to be a bit smaller.
I'm looking at this one, people seem to really like this company
