Polarizing filter will drop your ambient down about a stop (depending what manufacture and style) Using it shouldn't cause any issues that can't be adjusted in post ex:slight color shift.
You will probably want to set your wb to flash if you are able to stop out almost all your ambient (sun) light.

You can try closing down aperture, but if you want to blur your background that would defeat that effort.

And yes, doing flash photography is all about flash/camera sync speed.

Good luck!!!

Dang! That's an impressive image! Was the background dropped out in PP or just blown out by the strobe?


Blown out by two strobes. Now it's ready for PP. The above image is the first step. Now the fun begins.
