I'd just use the instant yeast. You can generally get away with using less of it. Instant yeast is all alive, whereas active dry yeast has live yeast coated with dead yeast. Boulangere commonly recommends using half of the quantity of instant yeast to substitute for dry yeast, and that lady knows her bread!!!
