Best tent and sleeping bags for 3 persons minimun package?

I am a motorcyclist looking for a 3 persons tent to bring in my trip. This tent has to be very small when it is packed. A clerk at L.L. Bean Suggest me Mutha Hubba 3 persons. Is it a good choice! I have to choose too, two sleeping bags that I can zip toguether (no mommy). I never sleep outside below freezing point and those sleeping have to be very small when packed. Thanks to all of you! By the way size matters not the weight!

1. The Black Diamond Vista 3-Person 3-Season Tent keeps you and you two partners comfortable and protected in camp and adds only 5lb 15oz to your group gear. This double-wall tent pitches quickly thanks to pole clips. A mesh top provides ventilation while keeping out the bugs, and the SilNylon fly stops the rain. In addition to the Vista Tent's 50.7sq feet of internal space, it also has two large vestibules for gear storage and double doors for easy entrance. Packed Size: 19 x 8in Weight: 5lb 15oz
2. It's no problem to stuff a tent body and fly into tiny package using a compression stuff sack, but there's nothing you can do about the poles. As for the sleeping bags. Rectangular bags are going to be colder and bigger than a pair of down mummy bags. But either way, down compresses to a smaller packed size than synthetics. The MSR Mutha Hubba is a fine tent which has won some awards, but at $399, it isn't the cheapest 3 man, 3 season tent on the market.
