Well if you use a mic in front of the amp, you get the true speaker sound and all of it's nuances. However you also open yourself up to possible bleed over from other instruments. Using a line out is cleaner as you get no bleed over. I wouldn't like to say that one is better than the other. From experience most musicians seem to prefer to mic an amp, whilst most sound men seem to prefer a line out. I'd try both ways and see which you prefer. Or maybe you'll find that mixing the two is better. It's all a matter of personal taste really.
