Which family of knots (fig of 8 or bowline) is best to use when rigging, and why?

I have found on numerous occasions that they have slipped off to the side even after making quite sure that they are 'set' correctly and after one particularly embarrassing occurence I decided to give in completely and now use Figure of 8s on the bight all the time for shared anchors - at least they stay put, though are marginally slower to adjust and more difficult to untie after loading.
