Recommendations?
I did a search and was surprised no one has talked this before

For attaching my evolv adjusts to ladders I like the DMM PerfectO Kwiklock.

The Petzl Sm'D twistlock works great for me with the Connect Adjust. Fits it well and is compact and quick and easy to operate. Works well with a grigri too - I just picked up a second Sm'D twistlock for that.

I have a Dual Connect Adjust and use Petzl Sm'D

This is what Petzl says here: file:///C:/Users/rappopoj/Downloads/technical-notice-CONNECT-ADJUST-1%20(1).pdf

"The SPIRIT SL or Sm’D RL carabiner is recommended for use with your belay lanyard’s rope adjuster. VERTIGO, Am’D and ATTACHE have also been tested and are compatible. If using any other connector, carry out a compatibility test (correct installation and functioning, and check for any possibility of poor positioning)."

I attach my connect to my belay loop with a tiny quick link from CAMP (it’s nice to get extra length that’s not tied up in the girth hitch) and then use one of those massive magnetron lockers from BD on the end.

Sm'D RL (twist lock) is the ticket.

You don't want the evolv adjust unless you're aid climbing --- pragmatically, the two arms are way long for anything else. Also, because the rope is thinner, it also doesn't technically meet the personal anchor standard the other lanyards do. Good piece of kit, but not the right choice for a standard lanyard.

If you want something light and small, the petzl Sm'D twist lock.

If you want something ergonomic and don't care about size/weight, then the BD Rocklock twist lock.

Also, I ditched the little rubber stoppers.  Not necessary.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
