Reflective product lighting advice needed

[Flashman]

I have a number of small product bottles to shoot soon and was wondering if anyone with studio experience can offer any advice as to how best to light them. As you can see in the daylight snap below they have a fully reflective surface and a 'brushed aluminium' surface, both curved. I have access to a number of heads and softboxes, if I use these what would be the ideal positioning for the lights to get the most even and pleasing illumination? Alternatively would I be better off sticking the bottles in a light tent?

TIA, Flashy.

Didn't you buy a set of my tutorials? Lighting reflective subjects is covered in the Still Life tutorial...
