I would be inclined to use the same thread, or something similar for the N:L centre.
I used the same thread, when making the Cornucopia. The net ground was in #80 Madeira Tanne, and all the rest, including the BL edge, was in #50 Tanne, - I think! I tried to lighten the NL by using some Open stitches.
You can see the finished piece on the Arachne webshots site.
The linen thread may have slubs in it, which makes it more difficult to use - especially in NL. The net part of any NL should be in a finer thread.
Please let us see a picture of the finished piece, one day! I find it great fun to combine the 2 disciplines. As long as there is a foot side to the BL you can "hang on" some NL!
