They are pretty much always our main tie-in knots. We have about five or six other different knots that are the primary ones we use, but a ton of others may come into play.

One of the issues with the bowline is security integrity, in that it can self loosen when load is removed. A figure 8 never will.

There are ways to secure a bowline a little better , one is what's called a "Yosemite finish" , which is a couple additional turns around the rope to secure it.

So one or more of these?
