In my personal opinion I would like a softbox way more. However I do not have one so I have to work with what I do have. I think a softbox would give you a different effect because light painting is a narrow light which gives off a narrow diffusion while it depends on what kind of softbox you use, but if I was to shoot this with a softbox I would want a decent sized one to get into there and show up in the reflections a bit.
Softbox would be the best route for me, but I do not have one as mentioned so light painting it is for now.
