Actually you should read the post Ed, he did not ask what to do if you were rapping down. Want's to know an easy quick way to get into more than one piece safely. If your only concern is to rap off at the top of the pitch then clipping into the anchor with 2 points, I prefer 2 long runners and 4 regular binners, and start your rap procedure. I usually spend more time on multi pitch trade climbs, so going up fast is of my utmost concern. For you it looks like getting off as soon as possible is most important.

What works for one person may not work for another. Choose the system that works best for you as long as it is safe. Redundancy in the system is critical as well as the rated strengths of the gear you are using, e.g. don't use your shoe lace to tie in if it's not rated to do so.

Fast and light is right when it comes to my climbing. If you need something extra to anchor in with by all means do so. It just means bringing something else.
