Talking ORTF vs Spaced Pair?

so, i've got a nice pair of SDC cardioids and a nice pair of SDC true pressure omnis, and i need to do a piano and flute duo in a relatively dead sounding space. i can either:

1. ORTF main pair out about 6-8 feet, with omni spots (about 3 ft out) on both flute and piano,

2. AB spaced omnis about 4 feet out, with card spots on each instrument.

3. ORTF main pair with omni flanks, spaced about 6 feet apart - whole array about 6-8 feet out.

4. stereo pairs on each instrument, blend during post.

i would appreciate any comments on your recommended mic configuration, and on your suggestions for acheiving a realistic reverb sound. thanks.
