If using the event/evdev interface is easier, definitely use that. Going directly to the USB interface will be much, much more work for you. The kernel does a lot of work to translate USB, HID, etc. into evdev. If you use evdev, you can (or should be able to) transparently support any buttons/knobs, etc. However you are stuck on Linux of course :)
