Correct way of using log4net (logger naming)

Question

There are two ways of configuring and using log4net. First one is when I can configure my own appender and associated logger:

Answer 1

Instead of naming my invoking class, I started using the following:

private static readonly ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);

In this way, I can use the same line of code in every class that uses log4net without having to remember to change code when I copy and paste. Alternatively, i could create a logging class, and have every other class inherit from my logging class.
