Well, in the event that no one is in Zero, there'd be no point in having anyone posted down there and likewise, if there are a lot of people down there, posting two or more people would be wise.
For every other time, I'd say that four shifts of six hours each would be better. Two people still get the day off and six hours of potential monotony is better than eight.
