Thanx for the answer Ben.
During the day I have been rethinking, and in the evening I heard the musicians play the piece at a concert.
I think you might be right Ben about the guitarplayers need for the natural reverb in the live end, and that the dead end could suit the percussion well (there's not to much bass trapping, I have recorded a lot of drums and bass instruments there with good results).
At the concert I realized that the maracas part are played on some small metal shakers (I don't know the name of them), and that sound is very bright and I have to be carefull about the balance with the guitars.
So now I think I will try to put the guitars in the live end, and give them there own mainset (AB with omnis probably). And then I will put the percussion in the dead end and giv him his own stereo set (and pan it opposite). The live end and the dead end will be parted by a glass wall. The percussionist told me, that as long as there are visual contact everything will be fine. (I think I will have headphone mix ready for him - just in case).
Yes I will have to put a good deal of digital reverb on in the mix, and I think you are right about, that spot mikes can help with that.
