The type of show and weather also makes a big difference in acoustics... are 
you doing a summer rock gig where the audience will be shirtless or wearing 
T-shirts (little absorption, very "live") or a winter opera where the 
audience will be wearing wool and fur coats (may as well play in a mattress 
factory).
FWIW, I think an acoustically live venue is the hardest to mix for because of 
the reflections, but requires less power to get the same percieved volume 
(not to be confused with actual SPL) as an acoustically dead venue.
