I'd go with sysvinit.  I'm using it with bb-0.60.1 and it works very
well.  I've got the following apps installed:

33.0k	init
11.0k	sulogin
17.0k	shutdown
10.0k	killall5
8.0k	halt
8.0k	reboot
4.0k	runlevel

where reboot is just a static link to halt.  I'm not sure but I think
you could get by with just init and halt.  If space is a problem you
could recompile bb with uClibc (get an older version I believe some
stuff is broken in the latest snapshot).
