Best summoner spell to run on anivia?

I usually end up running barrier as I feel that the most important thing on anivia is surviving the laning phase so you can progress to her godlike mid-late game phase. That is why I build for the late game (tear, ROA, etc.)

I don't run heal because people in mid usually have ignite which cuts heal's effectiveness down to half I've seen people run barrier because anivia ganks are devastating, and you can also do that egg teleport trick. Plus, returning to lane faster is cool

What is your opinion on this?

If your main goal is to survive laning phase I would go with summoner 7

Honestly the biggest benefit is the enhanced health and brief movement speed which will allow you to

A. Survive a gank,:(Heal increases what health you have, and move speed allow you to get out of there faster)

B. Survive an engage: ( Majority of players aren't expecting a heal when they engage, if you are both at low health and you pop a heal more often than not you just won the fight by baiting them into that situation)

C. Bait those tower dives: (Especially with anivia with or without egg form, pretending to back at a tower when at low health usually baits a champion to try and dive you, then you simply pop heal- they realize they can't win and try to escape...(your anivia land any of your abilities and free kill)

Difference with summoner 21 is- shield is lost after 2 seconds, meaning if you take no damage for 2 seconds barrier was worthless, or even after your barrier is down you have no extra defense or health, with summoner 7 you keep that extra health given to you, with deters a follow up gank or dive.
