Rigging over biners is always below the minimum.
Light loads don't matter.
When dealing with any real loads, bend- radius is important.
Textile-to-metal connections need to be built for it.
I use tied ( beer knot) nylon slings with aluminum biners for light rigging, along with sewn nylon and dyneema slings.
Steel snap-hook or biner as appropriate.
KISS.
I already carry many multipurpose, inexpensive ratcheting tie down straps.
I choke the sling above the POW, buckle down. Out of the way. Easy to tighten, as ratchet straps have MA levers built in.
It occurs to me that doubling an anchor rope through the ring and using a tensionlesss hitch/ tension less anchor would give a basket configuration...way stronger.
