At the extremely competitive level that champs will be played at, I don't think the top teams will have a problem getting 8 balls into the tower, an extra one won't make/break a match. Crossing a defense will be more reliable, and it's what is more achievable for teams around for those picks.
Again, some alliance captains might disagree with my opinion, but I'd take the robot that crosses, because it's probably going to be a safer bet.
