very often use umbrellas, i never shoot through if i want a shoot thru effect then i use a soft box instead. use a silver lining for cooler light and a gold lining for warming effects (dont use a gold one on a very white person, will make them yellow)
the larger and the closer the light source is to the subject, the more diffused the light will be..ultimately a 12 ft octagon softbox would be cool.
sometimes try to shoot using only the reflector and you will see some great skin highlights but you will need other strobes to light the set.
