Which lights do people put at the back/side of the house (i.e next to the laundry exit etc)?
Flood lights or regular lights that usually go at the front of the house?
Is flood light going to be overkill in this situation?

Having two back-to-back would definately give you a lot of focussed light and you won't be complaining it's too dark.. If it were me I'd start one 'normal' light and see how that goes because that would be quick and cheaper than putting in 2 floods straight away.
