Don't lock yourself into always use the same color background from that point forward as having the strobes a little closer might make the difference between the luminosity of the background being the best, or whether the product itself is shiny or matte. Writing a very lengthy reply in detail will nto help you as much, as suggesting you experiment atleast shooting the same product on different backgrounds and evaluate the results yourself.
