Well, I'd go for as much isolation as the situation allows. The approach that you first laid out, allowing the bleed to add to the recording is, in my opinion, a recipe for disaster. Most likely you'll end up with a washed out tangle that will not serve their or your purposes.
I sincerely wish you success with whatever approach you take, but 35 years and hundreds of sessions of the type you are describing gives me concerns with the "classical" approach you are proposing.
