Which type of recessed lights for dining table area

Our kitchen and dining area are in a rectangular room with the kitchen taking up two thirds of the room. There is an archway from the living room to the kitchen/dining area and to stairs going to a sunroom. Then the dining area is at the other end of the room and it is a small area, 10' wide and 8' long. We will have 6" recessed EcoSmart Cree lights in the kitchen. We will also have 2 pendants over the sink and under cabinet LED strip lights.

We will get a chandelier over the dining room with 3 lights. We would like to have 2 recessed lights on either side of the dining room to provide more light over the dining table and on the walls. The end of the dining room will have a 5' window so the room will not have much light at night. We like to read at the dining table and currently have 4 halogen lights that provide a lot of light. Should we use the same 6" EcoSmart recessed lights or should we put different lights closer to the wall that shine downward and towards the table?
