How much of an effect will this have for the first few weeks, and at lower levels of play? Probably none. However, at high levels of play, it could have an effect.

Bear in mind the scope of the audience selection is really limited. They only get to pick the middle defense, they only get to pick between two options, and both alliances get the same defense. I don't know how often there'll be a situation where one alliance would clearly benefit from one choice, and the other alliance from the other. I do suspect that drivers will dislike the tall, vision-obstructing defenses (portcullis and drawbridge), and maybe encourage their teams not to vote for those.
