Right, it depends on which kind of white it is.
If recessive white, chances are high for either black, mostly black with some brown showing or even a very rough basic dark cornish pattern. None will be white.
if dominant white(and pure for it) then all chicks will come out cream or cream with random little black spots, maturing out to either solid white, white with random black feathers, white with some 'dust cast', maybe some roosters will start white then get some brown on their pyle zones. Breeding from those can eventually lead to 'white laced red' if you breed for the dark cornish color pattern.
edited to add- didnt catch there was more post... if solid whites is your goal.. solid black birds are very helpful with this goal. Practically all clean white birds are based on solid black. So if you see a black bird with type you like, do not be afraid to get it especially if yours prove to be dominant white. The reasoning is dominant white is 'weak' at covering up brown/red/gold pigments.. that is how you get the wlr pattern with it. So using black chickens will help with making solid blacks x dominant white= pure white chickens.
Recessive white is better at covering up both black and gold pigments but still, many find that putting it over a black chicken makes for cleaner, crisper white.
Lastly.... the answers above are a good general rule for poultry. However games, including orientals often have genes and other things that can seem to break all rules. So I would not be terribly surprised if this cross throws all or some chicks of completely different color(s) than written above due to possible surprises lurking beneath the asil's white.
