Kitchen Island Lighting - need layout advice

We remodeled the kitchen and it is time to finally get the island lighting done. But having made several lighting mistakes during the remodel project, I am afraid to get this one completely wrong and ruin my new gorgeous kitchen!

Please help!

The island is 8 feet long and asimmetrical.

Here is a rough sketch:

The width ranges from 45" to 51"

There is a prep sink

We have 5" recessed lights in the isles but nothing above the island. Our contractor ran a wire in the ceiling above it but made no openings so we can pretty much choose any configuration.

I am thinking of pendant lights following the curve and one above the sink. However, that may leave the prep area to the right of the sink without much light so I am not sure. People in lighting stores suggested just three pendants along the center ignoring the curve.

What would you guys suggest?
