I would strongly recommend a figure of 8 with ears in this application.. As we all know base anchors end up going slack at some point during the climb. In which case the figure of 8 can end up with a girth hitch.. either that or just pop a bight through a normal figure of 8 and clip the bight into the biner... safety first kids.. theres no point in having a lowerable system that gets stuck

PETZL's "huit" fig.8 has a square top which is supposed to avoid the hitch inverting. They're also nice and small which is convenient for setting up 2 anchors close together.
