I always try the phase both ways when working with multiple mic setups.  
The
correct phase is something that I don't think you can predict because it
depends on mic distance.  I try inverting the phase and leaving it
uninverted and whichever one sounds better I use.  If neither one sounds
good I move the mics until it starts working.
