First, you want to make sure that you can hear each other in your monitors or whatnot. I recommend having one person playing open chords/power chords and having the other person playing higher barre chords, partial chords on high frets (like 0-0-14-14-14-0 for an A), or doing leads. Other options for differentiation include effects like wah, phaser, chorus, etc (just don't overdo it) or clean/dirty. If you've got more tonal flexibility (like if you're using MFX's), then you could have one person on a brighter combo and the other running a darker halfstack tone.
Just read that you're doing more reflective type of stuff. I'd say that one person below the 5th fret and the other person above it is a good way to divide things for that type of stuff. Also, depending on whether it's mellow reflective or intense reflective, you could have one person putting down some overdriven chords/power chords down on the bottom of the fretboard and have the other playing cleaner higher stuff or leads.
