Jib Sheet Knots

   OK, so what type of knots are people using to tie their jib sheets onto the clew of their jibs?
I'm not talking about high-load jibs, just general purpose stuff, that isn't necessarily "permanent". I'd rather not bother with shackles or plastic bobbers that might stick or thrash against the mast.
Figure-of-eight (was recommended - But it creeps towards the end of the sheet if the jib is flogging in windy conditions!)
Bowline (seems best)?
