If you can get the direct feed, take it. There ought to be more than enough crowd bleeding through the vocal mic for sufficient crowd response, and AUD pulls of spoken word really suffer from chatter because it's all the same frequencies. Anyone chattering around your mics, particularly if you're in the back of the room, will smother any clarity in your recording with mics in the open.
