I've slept under bashas for years, also used bivvy bags. Definately go gore-tex, mine had a drawstring hood which almost totally closed up. Slept in Canada, Croatia, Bosnia, all over the UK, and in a snow hole in Norway in mine!
Bashas are good if the weathers really crap, you can cook under it and do any admin, but bivvy bags are great if you want to sleep and go quick.
Bashas can be used as bivvy bags as you can roll up in it, but bivvy bags can't be used as bashas.
If you want a cheap one, get ex-military kit, it's good tough kit, especially if you like green!
And don't forget a rollmat. The foam ones are ok for down to about +5 degrees.

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
