I was replying to this and accidently deleted what I had typed, so I'll keep this short...
I have both the Pac Shack single and 3 person (got them both on sale...
The single..
Pros
price - can't beat it a shelter for $100 or less...
room - not bad actually. I recently fished it w/ my 3 year old daughter inside, fish it w/ my German Shepard inside, and can drill 3 (close) holes inide when fishing by myself...
warm - It's definatly better than not having a shelter. It's black, warms up fast.
space - takes up very little room, mine fit easy in the back of my Subaru, fits even better in the back of my Jeep.
transporting - No problem. fits good in a small sled, or can be carried easily (has a shoulder strap..
Cons
wind - definatley... In the single, you can step on the flaps, and be ok. The sound of the wind blasting it, can be annoying still, but you can manage it. In the wind have everything ready for fishing, because once you set it up, you'll need your weight to hold it down
I should say, on very windy days the 3 person is pretty much not worth brining. It takes two people to hold it down, and setting up and taking it down can be hazardess...
durability - I really rough on my gear, and gave it a beating last year. The seams are showing it. Not enough to effect, but I'll probably be lucky if it lasts this season and next... Like I said though, I'm not carefull w/ my gear, had I been more so, it probably would hold a lot longer
I've looked at the Scout

Nice, and probably won't be effected by wind. Also easy to transport. Probably even easier to move from spot to sppot once you're on the ice. However, at $230 it's way more expensive, and if you're going to spend that much, you may want to look at the Pro..

The scout had less fishing room inside than the Pac Shack...

Sportsman's Warehouse carries the 3 person for about $180. It doesn't take up much room and, supposedly sets up quick and easy.
It is basically a shell, but that gives you the option of what chair you want, and plenty of options for drilling holes...
Good Luck!
Also, you should watch for used... could find a nice deal...
