Choosing between the following studio lighting kits - help?

[karansaraf]

I have been asked to do studio photography for a ball event (tux & dresses).

The subjects will range between couples to groups of up to 10 people in front of a 3m-5m grey backdrop.

I am stuck with which lighting kits to buy.

I'm looking at these kits so far, although they are stretching my budget quite a bit and I would rather get something cheaper, although it needs to be good enough to do the job.

Here are the choices I have

Any thoughts?

And any thoughts regarding combination of umbrella/umbrella, umbrella/softbox, softbox/softbox? Any combinations you would choose/not choose for any particular reason?

Thank you

Ooops, I had a bit of a nightmare with that post, with editing problems and the like.

It should be fine now!

Sorry again!
