No hammock system is going to keep you safe from bears--pulleys, counterweights, prayers and positive thoughts notwithstanding. What keeps you safe from bears is maintaining a scrupulously clean camp, along with the fact that they just don't find you that interesting as long as you don't smell like freeze dried dinners or peppermint toothpaste.
Seriously. Use a hammock if you like hammocks (I don't), a tent if you like tents. Either will work fine, with the tent at a bit of an advantage where there are no trees. And worry more about ravens and mice, less about bears. The former will chew holes in everything you own, plus scatter stuff you really need far and wide; the latter will just huff and puff and carry on eating grass, tubers and ants.
Hope that's helpful.
