I am going to be shooting some photos at a bday party tomorrow in a room with all fluorescent lighting. using two nikon speedlights, wonder what is better for color correction? a filter for the lens or green gel filters for the flash units? quick advice would be much handy right now. thanks
Edit to add.
I bought both a FLD filter and a gel kit just to be on the safe side. Also bought a lumiquest 80-20 bounce/defuser to join my lumiquest softbox. I should be able to control the lighting now. I hope anyway.
thanks again for the advice.

I'd use gels.
Reason being that the lens filter will affect all the light, and the flash light will then still be a different color than the fluorescents. If you gel the flash, and set your WB to fluorescent, then all the light should be output at the same greenish hue, and the corrected by your camera.
