I actually prefer soft boxes normally but umbrellas are obviously FAR more mobile and with the Safari lights that becomes a significant issue.
Also as someone who normally uses soft boxes what do I need to consider when I am using umbrellas are there any issues?
I have a gold reflector umbrella which I bought with my Stable Imaging lights but I have NEVER actually used it
The shoot through and reflective umbrellas are the same price so it is not an issue of price I am simply deciding what to get.
I currently have or will be getting
2 x safari lights {GOT}
1 x safari ring light
1 x Elitepro 300w (or possibly a 600w)
1 x 95cm octo box (lencarta) {GOT}
1 x 60cmx60cm softbox (cheap one) {GOT}
1 x 40cmx180cm softbox (lencarta) {for full length shots}

Silver/White...... Through/Reflect ???
The kit I am adding includes 2 umbrellas but I could buy another if necessary.... Are 2 enough or do I buy a 3rd? Do I need both types ??
Everyone's suggestions have been very helpful in my buying decisions so far....
