wireless mic, shutgun mic, or on-camera mic? at DVinfo.net

I am going to shoot a debate, where there are 2 mics will be used. One is stationary, one is passed around the audience. So I have no problem attaching a wireless mic to the stationary, but how do I use the wireless for the one being passed around? Should I just use shotgun? But the sound will be coming from speakers all over, not just one direction, or maybe just make it simple, use the camera Mic? Thanks in advance

I think you may have it backwards.. I'd shotgun or wire lav the stationary speakers and put a wireless plug in on a hand mic to pass around, making the hand mic the wireless piece.
