I have a figure 8 on a bight at the end of my tether and this is clipped back into my carabiner. Also, once I set my tether length, I tie multiple overhands on a bight on the tag between the hitch and that terminating figure 8 that is clipped. I usually tie 3 of these overhands to act as a stopper knot if my hitch slides (they are easy to tie without disconnecting my figure 8 from the carabiner and I can't see my hitch untying 3 of them...that said those overhands probably aren't the proper knot there).
So, I'm considering clipping my top overhand on a bight stopper knot back to the carabiner.
i'm not sure either if an overhand is ideal, but IMO a butterfly knot feels a little more secure...
