I've found ribbons to work best on Brass sections ... so that would make the royers my first choise for presence. depends on the room of course but if it's big and good sounding enough you could position the B&K's as the main stereo couple ... but distant enough. Condensors tend to sound agressive and harsh when put too close to stuff like brass.

if the room is on the smallish side (no usefull natural acoustics) I would go for the royers in a 90° or 110° angle slightly higher then the players. trombones on the left , trumps on the right. the couple about 6 - 9 ft from the players ..... as a start off position that is ... positioning a couple can be hard ... you might wanna experiment a bit depending on room size / reflections etc etc ....
