If you are adding ballast to alter the way she rolls, I assume that it will be most dependent on how far this ballast is from the axis of rotation. Have You got room to put the ballast deep down in the hull?
I've not played the ballast game myself yet, but it seems to be a very individual thing, depending on each hull shape, internal distribution of weight, rig and a personal feeling of how you'd like the boat to behave. Most advice seems to be: "try it"! Not hugely helpful I know, but possibly the best way forward. Just make sure that you spread the loading as much as possible and everything is secured against movement.
