I sleep in a hammock sometimes, and morning dew or unexpected rain makes me think a sleeping bag with Conduit SL might be a good idea, but I'm not sure. My concern though is whether the Spectre 20 would be warm enough for a possible winter backpacking trip or if the Banshee 0 might be a more versatile bag to go for? Would the Banshee be a bit too heavy for backpacking? I'm debating between those two and the Phantom 0 or 15. Any advice would be appreciated.

The conduit SL would be bomber for your needs. I would go with a bit more conservative rating since you will be in a hammock and I am guessing not have a pad - the extra rating will help out when you compress the insulation on the bottom in the hammock.
