Albb-
I just added Timmermade too, not used their gear but it seems first class by all means. With some innovative ideas.

Perhaps @platypus will pipe up, their knowledge is great.
The bags you listed are pretty heavy. A zpacks as the same rating is half the weight - I am not sure how there is such a differnece. They used 17g/m2 V 36g/m2 and 900 down v 800 down.
The USA have lots os nice small house brands making stuff - at pretty good prices; Katabatic, Zpacks, Timmermade for three off my head. I'd look at the middle of your planned temperature range. You can always push it a bit; I actually use my 0deg C bag the most as it's light and small where as my -10 C is more bulky (read andy kirkpatricks blog for tips). For side sleeping I do think a quilt is nice, I will sometimes sleep in a balaclava. Or just covering your face with a thin merino buff is nice too, plus if the quilt is the right length you can pull it up over your head - you can't do this with a normal sleeping bag. So check a quilt is long enough to do this. A quilt also means if it's warm you can open it up and use it as a blanket. You can do that with a sleeping bag but it's not so comfy.
