I think it depends on the circumstance to use a biner or girth hitch.

 

If the biner will be loaded improperly (like joining slings around a tree) then a girth hitch is better.

Using the slings as part of your leading a pitch protection (which can result in high forces) needs the full strength of your webbing and girth hitching may weaken it too much. So then a biner would be needed.
