What would make a great tent for camping?

I'm thinking about buying a nice tent to go camping with a couple of times this summer. I'll most likely check eBay for a great price, but I know nothing about tents. I want something that is completely waterproof and easy to put up. I'd also like plenty of space for 2 people, and I'd like one that would fit my 6'4" frame comfortably.

Thanks for any recommendations guys. I know there are a ton of tents out there, but 75% of them are crap.

Something that is very compact when stored and very light. That's mainly what separates the "real" tents (from places such as REI) to 50$ xMart tents.

Look to spend about 250$ for a "nice" 2 person tent
