Popping my live guitar recording cherry.Please help.

[BSharp810]

This weekend I am having a Bass player, and electric guitar player come to my studio.
I have never recorded and live instruments before. I have a Line 6 Pod Farm that I am yet to use. Can you guys please give me some tips on recording these instruments. Which would be more proficciant, and produce a beter sound: Micing up their Amps, or plugging them directly into my interface? Aside from that, any advice would be nice. Thank ya'll in advance.

Let the players choose their poison.

If you've never recorded with with a mic...you should try it on the guitars/amps.
Yeah, these days you can DI just about everything except vocals...but IMO, that gets a bit stale-n-sterile.
