I still like silver or gold reflectors when appropriate, or white board.
I forgot that option!
I have a small Lastolite collapsible silver/white reflector that packs into a small bag.
My problem has tended to be trying to hold the reflector and operate the camera.
These goose neck double clamps work a treat for me!

Otherwise if I'm forced to use flash, for indoor work I've got an umbrella with modeling light and built in flash that i can go through or bounce along with a bar mounted af360 on camera, along wirh 3 2ft x 3ft soft boxes. I find myself leaning towards the 3 softboxes more than the flash type config anymore. Real time preview and tuning for what the softbox gives is a delight and no anticipation blinks when doing portraits. The obvious downside is setup time and needing ac cords. Still, I really like the softboxes best. I even use them on 3 sides of a photo tent for product shots and its just perfect. I can even use my cell phone for photo tent work with that setup and the results are fine for web posting.
I also have a small photo tent, that I haven't used yet:
