Downsizing to 2.1 HT... how would you hookup the sub?

I am downsizing to a 2 channel + subwoofer HT setup. I am going to pickup a Pioneer Blu-Ray player (BDP-51FD) that handles decoding internally and then connect the analog stereo outputs to my BAT preamp.

I still have room for my ACI sub and I am debating on whether to use the LFE output on the Blu-Ray player, or 2nd set of outputs on my BAT preamp. I am leaning towards the BAT outputs, but wondering if the LFE information will get included in the Blu-Ray players stereo downmix? Or, is the LFE information lost?

Thanks in advance for any input!

If you do not use the second set of outputs on the BAT, you will have no way to control volume of the main channels and the sub simultaneously.

forgot to mention that my music listening will all be done without the subwoofer.
