I think a Bankai in the shape of the one he had before, or a dual Bankai connected with a chain, like Shûhei's Shikai, would be the best.

Was it not stated many times in the manga that a zanpukto no matter what its shape to its owner it is like they have been using/fighting with it their whole lives so just a bit training (plot kai depending) to master it?

But yes that does not fit Ichigo looks more like what Shuhei's could be.
