Best Backdrop Support System


I am beginning to upgrade my backdrop system from taping fabric to the walls to using a professional backdrop system. I shoot formal maternity portraits, children and families. I use 5 foot velvet purchased in a fabric store. I do not want to see creases and need to clamp or tape the sides to the poles. I have heard of some systems bowing, JTL, and have looked at systems, e.g., Photoflex, Savage, Bogen-Manfrotto, Photek. And, then there's the Peoplepopper which uses it's own velour and one T-stand. Any suggestions? Don't want a lot of weight and want simplicity, ease of set-up and capability to have the minimum width at least 5 feet, and length at least 8 feet.
