as far as the pics, the latter will work (though i'd tie the limiters a bit closer). but with all that extra cord and [apparently] a 2-bolt anchor, why don't you just fold it an extra time and tie a quad? = redundant, dynamically equalized, and bomber
as far as the belay loop vs. tie-in points, girth-hitches and the rope go into the tie-in points. the belay loop is rated to be plenty strong enough, but the tie-in points on modern harnesses have layered structure designed to take the wear of soft goods constantly rubbing in the same contact point. the belay loop, on the other hand, is bar-tacked webbing designed for hardware. in short, IMO if you were just going to use your PAS and then remove it, then the belay loop is tolerable, but if you want to be able to leave it i'd suggest the tie-in points.
the argument could go back and forth on this ad nauseum (and either way realistically you'll probably live), but the manufacturers appropriately designed that stuff for the intended purpose. why not just use it that way?
edit: and i agree about the 2 biners in the masterpoint
