Hi Chris,
I would definitely use the Aux Out myself. I do exactly what you are looking to do except it is a livestream and we have BMPCC and Birddog P200 cameras. I take a feed straight from the desk into the BMPCC. This also eliminates the need for syncing the audio in post. I have a custom XLR to min XLR cable which is long enough to reach the floor regardless of the tripod height. That takes mechanical pressure of the connection into the BMPCC. In this auditorium we have an Allen and Heath SQ7 and one of the Mixes is dedicated to the Streaming output - this would be the equivalent of your Aux Out.
You do need to run a separate mix for this as the FOH mix is for the audience who are also getting sound acoustically off the stage. The recording mix doesn't get that, and it sounds a bit thin unless you remix it to suit. Last thing, make sure your input on the BMPCC is set to "XLR Line" rather than "XLR Mic". The feed from an Aux will be too hot for "XLR Mic". Watch your levels on the BMPCC carefully. We use compressors routinely to mitigate the big swings you get in dynamic range that come off a church stage. If you don't have a compressor, you will probably need to monitor levels very carefully.
Hope this helps,
Darryl
