If you're "canny" you could use both; use speakers
A for films (di/tripoles) and B for music (direct)
and select them for their respective inputs.
Then again you could just do what I do - use
A and B together (dipoles), making sure, of course,
they're at least 8 Ohm impedance (and preferably
the same model).
What receiver(s) have Speaker A and B on their rears, and are these switches separate from Speaker A and B on the mains?

dipoles dude.. seriously for surronds and rears
you should use dipoles
Stretiak and diesel have good comments about this. I have always found that dipoles smeared the sound, so would not be good for rears. They would probably be better for sides, though, because rear is rear for everyone, so a point sound in the back would always sound like it came from the right place, while point sources on the sides would be too far forward for some people and too far forward for others (assuming two or more rows of chairs).
