Another thing that I just thought of:
Just how big is this "big name" today? Is it someone like Craven, who still has pretty consistant boxoffice success, or someone like Hooper who is just running the DTV / TV show circuit?
If its someone like the latter, I change my vote and say go for the up-and-commers. Contrary to what Sam said, if its a Hooper style "big name" and it flops - it wont be noticed anymore than if the new guys make it.
