Sphere-sphere or sphere-plane gaps with  uniform enough fields ,right?
Ok,but don't forget to calculate in additional capacitive coupling effects then.
Nonuniform electrode (like needle-needle gaps) configurations are rather inaccurate methods for coil voltage measurements by spark lenght,even in a single-shot mode.
