Use 2x v850s or 1 360?

Have to take a few group shots of kids during a basketball clinic. These kids range from 4-7yo. Each group will contain ~25 kids. It's in a dimly lit gym and we will be very short on time for each group. Basically have ~5 mins to setup before each shot.

Choices are 2x v850 in 60" reflective umbrellas high behind me and angled to the opposite sides of the group, or just pointing straight on. I'd rather have flat light than have to deal with shadows being cast between rows.

OR

A single CL-360 shooting into a 7' Westcott parabolic right behind me. I also have an RL-600 but thinking the AD360 power should be enough power.

My main concern is if the Westcott 7' will give me enough spread.

Do you already have all these flashes? If so, why not use all 3? And once you dial it in with the first group, there won't be much to set up with the following groups.

Have all 3. Basically trying to keep as simple as possible. Before the initial shot will only only have 5 minutes as well. With the multiple lights I'll have to worry more about shadows with the light placement and that will change with each team actually.

this.

except the umbrella on the left should be pointing to the left, and the one on the right should point to the right. Otherwise you will get a hotspot in the center. Keep them directly behind you to eliminate shadows.
