I use an omni-bounce quite often. At other times I just use the celing. When I'm feeling ambitious, I'll use my Larson Sof' Shoulder. It's really an umbrella reflector. Quite cumbersome but very good. In combination with open sky, it can give you a very good look that rivals what could be done in a studio with three lights and reflectors.
