I like Star L -> Circle R or Star R -> Circle L (or vice versa I suppose) so that the dancers can maintain momentum for that transition. I don't think switching either the stars or the circles affects how it interacts with the rest of the dance, so either switch would work.

BLACK SQUIRREL CONTRA (Duple Improper)

A1

Star R

Star L

A2

Circle L

Circle R

N. B&S 

          (end facing down in line of 4)

B2

Down in 4, turn alone

Return, twos arch, ones dive under

It takes teamwork to accomplish the arch and dive 
in time for the RH star with the next couple.
