i would bar both strings with my pinky. in other words, i would use just on finger for both strings, but if you havent learned to bar yet, then you can use whatever two fingers get you there fastest and most accurate. however if your not pressed to hit it really fast, (ie. if there is silence before the note) and you have time to move your whole hand i would use the first and second finger, so its easiest to hold down the frets and not buzz.
