I find that the most flexible method of handling Finder/Multifinder is to
always boot under the Finder.  I have only 2M on my machine and like to have
such frills as a desktop picture, 256K cache, and the like.  Most apps will
run just fine in Finder with such a configuration.  If I want to run MF, 
though, I simply turn off the cache and double click the MF icon in the
system folder while holding down Command and Option.  It runs MF just as if
I had booted under it.  Since there is no way to go from MF to Finder then
it is necessary to reboot if that's what I need to do, but that's no more
inconvenient than having to specify which I want when I boot in the first
place.
