Thanks

Personally, I would choose a high DWR ripstop over silnylon. 2QZQ offers underquilt protectors in both materials and a description of which would be best for your needs.
M55 from ThruHiker. Very high wind resistance and DWR.
I never needed silnylon for spray personally. YMMV.

Definitely not silnylon!
You can read about a few sad accounts of a$$hats who made UQPs from silnylon on hammockforums.net, and their experiences. Long story short, their underquilts drowned in condensation.
A few posters already made sane suggestions, take your pick – breathable material with decent DWR treatment is what you are looking for.
