It is purely up to you. Both seating area are alright. At the Stalls, you would have a direct line of sight to the stage. It is good towards the end where there are several 'death defying' high hanging scenes. Provided you are not seated below the Dress Circle. At the Dress Circle, it gives a good view of the entire stage. Some of the actors have some background moves, which may be missed if you are seated in the Stalls. You will need to ensure your seat is not blocked by the support beams. For a clearer picture, you can check out the Stage View Seating Plan of Criterion Theatre via a Google search. (I cannot post links here) Hope this helps.
