What Magic Circle Spell do I use to create a calling diagram for a neutral outsider?

What Magic Circle Spell do I use to create a calling diagram for a neutral outsider? Any, as the spells say 'can be used to trap a non-(insert alignment here) creature'? Or none?

And does the magic circle used to create the trap in the first place have to be alignment specific? Or can it be any magic circle spell?

Since they all say "can trap a non-[alignment<>neutral]", I'd say they all work. Of course, they should rename the spells to "Magic Circle against Non-Good", but that's another topic.

I don't get the 2nd question. Sounds to me that you're asking the 1st one again.

You use the spoell twice. Once to trap the outsider, and another time to trap it again. The wording of the Planar Binding spells basically says you have to use a magic circle to start with, but you can make it harder by casting a second one.

I'm wondering if you can use any magic circle for any outisider for the first application, as the spell description doesn't specify which type you have to use.

Nope, you cannot and need not cast the spell twice. The "better" option is the calling diagram, which is detailed in the magic circle description.

Magic circles can be used to trap whatever the description states. Magic circle against evil, for example, can trap any nongood creature (LN, N, CN, LE, NE, CE).

There is no specific circle to be used for a specific type of creature, there are always multiple options.
