I've used both non-freestanding and free-standing tents and I much, MUCH, prefer a free-standing tent as it's far more versatile in terms of terrain I can set up in. Plus, if it's not windy it doesn't even need staking before I get into it. Another advantage to a free-standing tent is the ease with which it can be moved if I discover something poking me when I lay down. That's a great advantage if I have to set up in very low light or in the dark.
Cheers
