If you can move the light off the camera, better. You can even go a little closer with the strobe if output a problem and can go offset a little for more character. I would set it for 1/2 stop or 1 stop under, or just test. Certainly use neg film. The 100 SuperG would work. You might consider a warming filter for the cool shade and flash. Like an 81A or B. Lab can make adjustments but not worth the trouble for them usually. Your Canon is probably the easier choice, but what the heck. Shoot 2-3 frames or don't view through slr if you use it, watch the moment flash goes off--you can usually see any blink, closed eyes. A friend of mine used to do cruise ship work and they used M6s so they could see the blinks of people, even scan a group when they learned to see. At least it is a good cause. I started coaching when my daughters were 5. And my younger one was first team All American these last two years at university (Pele presented her her certificate this year in Cincinatti).
