Matching S-Log F3 + RED Epic look/camera settings?

On a two camera shoot this weekend grabbing some outdoor b-roll for a little commercial skateboard spot. Any basic advice on camera settings to achieve a look that matches as closely as possible before heading to post?

Mostly daylight content, probably a little bit of night time content in some parking garages and such. I'll be relying on the histograms to match exposure, but hoping the depth of the s-log and RED files will allow me to correct most of the exposure and color differences in post. Not grabbing double coverage so they won't need to match perfectly thank goodness.
 
Well, you can set the Red's gamma to RedLogFilm so it more or less matches the F3's gamma. Besides that, I'd try to expose them both to their sweet spots (pretty sure they're both 800iso) and make sure the white balance is correct (more important on the F3 since it's metadata on the Red). Beyond that, they should both be giving you enough to work with to match them in post.
