Something with a relatively neutral sound that would blend well with the flute. Wick and Crown aluminum straight mutes are good for this.
For the rhythms (mirroring the snare drum) I would use something with more weight, like a Jo Ral straight or a Crown copper bottom straight.

I have the white plastic Bach mute. I thought I heard that Phil Smith, when he used the plastic Bach, would stuff cotton in it. Something like that, I don't believe it was Bolero however, he was discussing different ways of muting and using mutes.
