I had two similar shoots this week like this.
I went with one MKH416 as close as possible and still be out of frame.
(they will most likely be more aware of the cameras than the mic)
I went with Lavs for back ups.
These were 3 camera shoots so I went Boom Camera 1, Lav 1 & 2 Camera 2 L&R
Boom and Nose mic on Camera 3 L&R.
IMHO the 416 will most likely be chosen for the DIA track on both shoots.
Lavs can have phase, noise and dirrectional issues. And as posted above know what the eye-line is so you get the best capture on placement.
You could get into trouble with stereo mics if they get summed in post. A dialog or editor is not going to want to edit and clean 3 tracks for one source.
When in doubt ask the dirrector how he/she would like to cut the audio in post.
If the subjects are close enough together one 416 (or 66) will be good.
One thing to do is to try to cut down on room ambience with fernie pads or blankets on floor and hung on C-stands if they are available.
